Biking 14:33 [1] 0.85 mi (3.5 mph)
shoes: New Trailer
Trying out the newer trailer. Why a new trailer? The old trailer has a flat. A tire and a tube would be like $30. This trailer was $50 off marketplace, has three tires still with nubs, has suspension, and has the conversion to jogging stroller (the old one did but broke a long time ago, not repairable unless you had metalworking skills).
Downside: far less cargo volume than old trailer. May have to rig something up particularly for Mondays/Fridays when there's a sleeping mat, at least until March or so when someone ages out of compulsory nap time.
Verdict:
It does pull nicer, and is wholly a nicer system with better fit, finish, craftsmanship, strap system, plus 20" wheels instead of 16s, but I imagine if you are like a typical person and only end up pulling kids a few dozen miles lifetime, the cheap ones are fine. Currently old trailer is at 70 miles this year so far, and doesn't count the tag along.
Now to find a cheap tire and tube for old trailer so I can keep a studded bike rigged up for snow days. Or maybe a spare hitch will be cheaper....

The tire did not just need to be pumped up...flat in three blocks. I am not the world's biggest fan of wrestling tires levers at 30 degree. :-| (Yes I will bring it inside for pliability)

Flat trailer tire...hopefully it responds to just being pumped back up.

Enjoyable motala on Addie's new Woldumar Nature Center map. Map was super usable. Green was no joke, offset by some nice stuff down by the river.
+add some time to compensate for my preview during printing and xml preparation. I try not to work out routes other than noticing, hey there's more than one, and I did know Lap 3 started out east.
I am normally somewhat scale impervious but boy life comes at you fast at 1:5k.
