I'm quite sure this isn't a horse trailer. But it was a unique kind of bicycle. And one could, indeed, carry a lot of stuff as one pedaled on home - maybe even a week's worth of groceries. It gets good gas mileage, too!
I spent some some days at a paradise island in Ecuador where there were no cars. The only means of transportation was a similar 'thing' with a guy cycling in the back (we were sitting in the front as in a rickshaw). I found the same in Myanmar a couple of years later. It was really cool! :-)
I'm with Lois, probably couldn't pedal this even when empty. I recently saw that there are train bikes -- you go on tours following RR tracks using bikes with gizmos attached to the rails. Pretty funky.
Welcome home -- nice gangsta avatar of you and Lois Ann.
Colorado in Color presents a series of photos, most of which were taken in September and November of 2010. Southwestern Colorado is featured, offering glimpses of the Great Sand Dunes, Gunnison, Leadville, the Royal Gorge, etc.
The photographs were taken primarily by myself and my wife, Lois Anne and are copyrighted by L & L Photography. All rights are reserved.
We have, as of February 2013, added our daughter, Denise Jelonek, a resident of Colorado, as a contributor to this blog. She is an excellent photographer and has many beautiful photographs to share.
Enjoy!

Where have you been for such a long time? I missed you and it's great you're back!
This bicycle really invites to take a longer journey:)
Good for groceries... or a sports bag to go to the gym! Good to see you back! Hope it was a happy hiatus!
If I filled that thing up with stuff, I probably wouldn't be able to get it home!
I'm sure it's useful! :)
*** LOVE the slide show, lots of pictures, and what a FABULOUS event there!

But I would not want to go uphill with a load!
It's a giddy-up go sort of vehicle. MB
