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.

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)
