Yeah do it! Even a cheap cargo trailer is really useful to have. It can cut down a lot of unnecessary journeys with the car when you have to take something along with you that won't fit in a rucksack or in the panniers.

I think the way to go would be to have it longer, but lower and have the roof raise up when needed. The guy in the video has made a good effort, but it is way too heavy. The large steel frame is total overkill. Plus, put the battery on the bottom to reduce CofG, not high up at the back. It's...

What I dislike about tents is trying to put one up in the wind and rain and then trying to pack it away all wet in the morning...then at the next site you have to put up a wet tent...rinse repeat...and after a while things start to get very muddy and mouldy. Then when you get home you've got to...

How about this:

I like the idea of not being in a tent :D

Apparently home made cycle caravans are quite popular in Germany.

It was a mid range Marin bike, so not a cheap Chinese bike. I think what precipitated it was that a few weeks ago I came off and the bike went down heavily on it's side. I came to a blind junction and someone on a moped shot out in front of me, I jumped off the bike to avoid them, but the bike...

Can you get your money back as it is not as described?

This is doing the rounds on Twitter: Any thoughts @matthewslack? Any use for your long distance trips?

From what I have observed, the vast majority of people who come to this forum don't have hub motor issues, they have problems mainly with batteries, controllers, software and cable connections. Even the cheapest hub motor I have had has worked fine, despite significant abuse. Hub bikes and kits...

You make your own? Seriously? Just thinking about the smell is enough to make me want to vomit.

It was a total loss in my case, before I knew what was happening the derailleur was wrapped around the spokes and the chain badly twisted and bent. All just fit for the bin. I didn't have any tools on me (typical, they were on the other bike back home) and I couldn't even get the chain "quick...

Just think how lucky he was not to be made to eat Nato :D

There you go again, black or white, no sense of nuance. It's either all wonderful or total crap, no in between according to you. I've got plenty of items of various kinds that are "made in Germany" and they are good or at least work adequately, but just because it says "made in Germany" on the...

I think that's a very good assessment.

Well, you might be armed, but it seems you don't have a leg to stand on :D

Fine, I'll leave you to your bliss. When you have grown up a bit and can come back with a coherent point and not just resort to lame insults, let me know.

No no no...get stopped with one of those and you have a lot of explaining to do. Need to have something that has an innocent purpose, like an Avanti garlic crusher. Also much better for protecting the rest of your knuckles :D

Go to other countries and you won't see this obsession with "men's" bikes and "ladies'" bikes. People just ride what works for them. When I had my leg operations there was no way I could have continued riding with a cross bar bike. These days you get guys riding all kinds of bikes, red, green...

Fine, I'm happy to leave it to others here to make their mind up about who is the idiot :D
