Cruising down that busy freeway with the kids laughing and carrying on and all the traffic around you can be a bit nerve wracking and stressful without having to worry whether you bike rack, trailer, or cargo carrier is staying where it is suppose to be.
You can check a dozen times, stop every few minutes but no matter how many times you check you’ll still be worrying about it in the back of your mind especially once you get off the freeway and onto some of those back roads that aren’t always smooth.
