(More customer reviews)I bought a Nomad two years ago. Love it. I decided to ride my bike to destinations within a couple miles of my home that I normally drive to. Why waste gas and wear on the car when I can get off my lazy rear, ride the bike, and get some needed exercise in the process of doing errands I need to get done?
The Nomad made my bike practical. I can ride to the grocery store, wally world, pet store, etc, all of which are 1-5 miles from my house. If the weather is decent, I take the bike and Burley. I got a 25 pound bag of cat food home the other day, works perfectly. When the wife and I ride the bikes, we can throw a snack, drinks, extra sweatshirt, whatever in the Nomad just in case. Cell phone, wallet, etc can go in one of the little interior pockets. Super. The material is rugged. Of course, if you go offroad with it, over sharp rocks, etc, you can damage it I suppose. Not meant for that.
When the trailer is unloaded you barely notice it back there. It pulls super easy. With a 30-40 pound load, you have to work harder. Not rocket science. You slow down a little. No biggie. You can haul a lot of stuff in one of these guys. I leave the Nomad attached to my bike all the time now, just in case. You go for a ride, remember you need a gallon of milk, and just swing by the store. No problem.
I can't think of the last time I spent this amount of money on something I use this much, derive this much benefit from ( gets me exercising instead of being sedentary ), and enjoy as much.
I get a lot of positive feedback everywhere I go. Never fails to get a positive comment at the grocery store. One day a lady in a pickup truck drove beside me, rolled her window down, and was asking me about the trailer. Got a thumbs up from another driver one day. I think the trailer, in yellow, enhances my visibility and therefore safety on my bike. It is such an oddball thing to see on the road around here, it catches people'e eye, and that is never a bad thing on a bike.
One small flaw keeps it from 5 stars. The wheels are quick release style, and if you are not vigilant and check them for tightness a couple times a season, eventually they loosen and pop off. I rode a whole summer with no issues, then this year the first time I rode it, lost a wheel. I quickly found it, undamaged, and put it back on. The trailer frame got scratched a little. I really attribute this to my lack of attention to detail as much as design. I should have not been as complacent, and should have checked my equipment better and more often. Lesson learned. I wish the wheels were not quick release, though. Anyway, no biggie, I only mention this to alert you that if you buy one, check your wheels for tightness occasionally.
Order one today and get off your butt. You'll love it. I've since ordered my dad a Burley Flatbed. If you're within a 5 mile radius of where you do a lot of shopping, post office, et cetera, perfect. If you are like me, live in the suburbs, and are 1-3 miles from many things you need to do, this is the ultimate rig. You could tour on it longer distance, too.
