A recent post made me want to share and see how other people are carrying and towing voluminous stuff with bicycles. Show us your #carryshitolympics, or just regular hauls.
For example, I live on an archipelago and have a kayak and a SUP that I carry around with bike trailers. Depending on my destination and what I’m carrying, I use an Aosom trailer with a flat bed, but most of the times I can get away with a lighter Burley Travoy. Here are some pictures.
This turned out to be rather unstable, but it was fun for an afternoon.
What kind of instability are we talking here? Was it trying to slither on the pavement?
The second trailer had a poorly implemented hitch design that let it tilt side to side far more than I expected. I didn’t make any consideration for it being single track. In hindsight I should have had the lean angle mimic the first trailer and therefore the bike, but I didn’t have much time and didn’t test any of it before I set out for the afternoon.
The whole thing stayed straight as an arrow, but after twenty metres that seat was repurposed as cargo space for the rest of the ride so nobody got sick from becoming a weeble wobble.
