It can be convenient to have a bike cargo trailer that converts into a trailer that is easily pushed around by hand. This can be useful for wheeling your gear down to the beach while leaving your bike parked. Or pushing your trailer through the grocery store. It is a useful mode if you have to push your trailer through an apartment building or to the office.
The Carry Freedom Large Y-Frame Trailer has been set up by the good folks at Carry Freedom as a walking trailer. This has been a somewhat custom modification that they’ve offered. They are working on offering the walking handle as a standard accessory. Some of their customers have used this setup for long distance walking trips.
The Carry Freedom City rolls extremely comfortably by hand. When not hooked to a bicycle it looks almost like a small hand trolley style suitcase and is even easier to roll with its 12″ wheels. It even has small roller wheels for rolling it sideways through doors and turnstiles. This trailer has become very popular for bike commuting as it easily goes from a light-weight bike trailer to an easy to roll trolley that glides smoothly into the office and folds up very compactly to be tucked away.
The Leggero Trolley is a swiss made trailer that actually transforms into a small shopping cart. It has a brilliant design that allows it to pop-up into a shopping cart configuration. For bicycling or walking it folds down into a more compact 2-wheeled position.
The Croozer Cargo Trailer features a hitch arm with a two-position bracket. The hitch arm can be quickly reposition from its bicycle cargo position to an upward position that makes it easy to pull the trailer by hand.

The Burley Flatbed is not designed for use as a walking trailer, however can easily be used as one. This is accomplished by taking out the hitch arm from the bike trailer body and then reinserting it, rotated upwards at 90 deg. The hitch arm’s lock pin cannot be inserted in this position, however its push button tab keeps it well enough in place for walking. The safety strap of the Flatbed’s hitch arm makes for a good handle. A home-made PVC handle extension could easily be attached to the end of the hitch arm as well.
