I saw something like this mounted on the back of a trailer recently. It was loaded with a motorcycle, but it got me to wondering if it wouldn't be possible to use the frame-mounted reciever at the back of my TM to tow bicycles using this.

I had been daydreaming about a solution something like this. The cost of the unit makes it impractical to buy (at least this year. There have been a lot of new purchases!) However, the theoretical possibility of this trailer is intriguing.

A wheel under the trailer absorbs the bumps and limits the abuse that the hitch sees, improving the likelihood that it can survive at the back of a trailer. A torsion axle, and the tire, limit the bouncing and jarring of the bicycles carried on the platform.

I know there are better solutions to carrying bicycles. However this one was novel... I thought I'd present it here as a fun exercise for the resident BSME's, mechanics, hobbyists, and wannabes to analyze as a theoretical exercise.
