One very common topic here is what type of tire to use on the trail, and whether road bikes are appropriate. September Brown recently posted some very useful advice on the "phred" mailing list, which I have copied to the BikeKatyTrail website. There's also an explanation of why single-wheeled trailers will work better than 2-wheel trailers: Katy Trail Bike Type, Tire, and Trailer Discussion
