What are the safety concerns of a high vs a low mount trailer hitch?
  • When you google for images of (canoe & bike) you find two basic solutions to towing a canoe with a bike.
  • 1. A traditional axle mounted tralier is modified to have a tongue long enough to load/support the canoe/kayak on the trailer.
  • 2. A seat post or carrier mounted pole connects to the front of the boat, the boat servers as the "trailer frame" with a canoe dolly (wheels that attach to the boat for moving by hand) for wheels.
  • Solution 2 offers the advantage of less material and more a portable trailering solution. With this solution the bike and trailer easily fit in most canoes, so you have a [fully amphibious combination](https://outdoors.codidact.com/questions/47190).
  • Is there any significant safety considerations when towing with a bike from a higher or a lower tow connection on the bike?
