Hello,
I am about to purchase a Burley Flatbed bicycle trailer. I intend to order something for securing the cargo to the trailer when I order the trailer. I am familiar with bungee cords but have not used straps.
What is your experience with bungee cords vs straps for securing cargo to a trailer? Which one do you prefer and why?
What kind of bungee cords (size, thickness of cord) would you recommend?
What kind of straps do you recommend in terms of size, material type, and brands?
Seems Burley Flatbed has rails that are 5 cm thick (2 in) so it seems that regular bungee cord hooks cannot simply hook onto the rails but you would have to wrap them around then hook to the cord. Something to consider.
