Bike with modified trailer parked outside a DIY shop in Assen, Netherlands.
The interesting thing about this trailer is that it has been converted to have three wheels. The third is the front half of a child's scooter (red). It is towed from the handlebars of the scooter, meaning that the front wheel of the trailer turns as the trailer turns.
I suspect that this modification is to make the trailer work well as a hand cart when off the bike.
There were two trailers modified in this way at the shop at the same time.
The owner had left whatever they'd bought at a previous shop, in the white box, in this trailer as they went into the shop.
There are many bicycle trailers in the area, a good percentage of which are home made or modified.
