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.

I like that trailer. I do not haul stuff with my bike, mostly because my dog travels with me 99% of the time and I do not have a great way to haul her with me too. She is 8 1/2 and not as quick as she used to be.

I have been looking at building my own trailer like the one in the image I quoted so she can ride in it, or run as she feels fit to do.

This turned out to be rather unstable, but it was fun for an afternoon.

I love this

I love hauling things with my bicycle. I used my bicycle as part of my move over the summer.

We were moving around 2 miles so it was pretty practical

Moving the Christmas trees was sketchy as the trailer wanted to fish tail :)

Hase Pino Tour with the stoker position removed. I put on an Aventon cargo tray that someone abandoned at the LBS. Burley Travoy for additional lightweight capacity. This load was supplies for a Juneteenth cookout party for 20 people.

For very heavy or large loads, I have a Surly Bill trailer.

Carrying a boat of this size on the Surly Bill is strongly contraindicated. :D I had a lot of weight in the stern, but the load shifted and things got squirrelly.

Great post, I am pinning this to encourage more comments.

Sorry for the lack of pics, but I've got:

  • a Lectric Xpedition cargo e-bike with Lectric's "large" cargo basket mounted in the front even though they intended it for the rear, with the rear rack set up for carrying kids
  • an acoustic utility bike modified from an early '90s rigid mountain bike, with a Wald front cargo basket and a rear rack for panniers.
  • two InStep kid trailers, one of which I plan to modify into a cargo trailer with a flat hard floor and rectangular side rails (but I haven't gotten around to it yet)

The most affordable cargo solution to date! (If you don't count the mounting hardware.)

A cardboard box mounted to the rear rack of a bicycle. The box contains two large jars of beans, a package of toilet paper, and a skateboard

If one bike is good, two must be better. Right?

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.
