According to the post, the trailer is used for bike education in Minneapolis Public Schools. The goal of this program is to help fourth and fifth graders learn how to ride a bike, and feel more comfortable riding a bike safely on city streets and trails.

The missing trailer is 24-feet long, blue, and has a large white graphic on the side that reads, "Let's Roll MPS."
