Joshua

with an automobile trailer, the weight should be something like 60% on the
lounge/towing vehicle and the balance supported by the trailer. I can't see why
that rule of thumb would work for a bicycle. however it seems your bigger
problem was not tying the load securely or possibly overloading the trailer...

Sorry I only read English...care to translate this kind Sir?
