Bicycle trailers are underrated. You can never have too many. (slrpnk.net)

I had to temporarily move out. It took a few trips to move all my belongings.

No electric, so rather slow speed, but thankfully very little traffic here.

In front of a stone house with a blue door. The trailers hold bin bags and green crates with another bicycle laid on top

The bike train on a road, carrying rather tall stacks of green crates, as well as other miscellaneous items

2 trailers connected to the bike. The front trailer has a stack of bicycles on it, and the rear trailer has green crates on top of which sits a cat. Another cat walks towards the camera

Dude this is so freaking cool. I love the setup! How difficult is it to make turns with the 3 trailers attached?

Thanks! Bike trailers are great at corners. You can easily do a u-turn with one. The way the second trailer is connected to the front hand cart though, limits it to about 45°. While cycling though, there are no issues, just cycle maybe a metre from the edge of the road.
