A practical and fun item to want....nothing wrong with that!
The fuss thread rules: you don't get to mention a bike lustworthy item without pictures or link
My own rule of thumb: If I'll ride MORE with the item .... I need it

I wish I wanted to tweak my ride. Instead I keep telling myself that it would be wiser to buy a more expensive bike than to keep putting money into one that I have. BAD!!!! Even though I just got a new ride this year, I am already lusting after a new ride.
Help! I need another job to pay for it, but then I wouldn't have enough time to ride. Oh the drama!

Nothing wrong with lusting after a new bike, if it will let you do things you can't do now Originally Posted by jandmw

My problem is my new bike is *very* close to a do it all machine already. It's not ideal for most of what I make it do... but it's good enough. I just keep daydreaming of a bike that's better. Hasn't kept me from tweaking my current bike tho. It makes sense to spend good money on things that help me get more use out of my bike. *hugs her shiny new cargo net*

Oh yeah. I've seen that site too. That's a teardrop. I'm hoping I'll run across one used this spring. I've started saving my nickels and dimes. Originally Posted by KnottedYet

How about a camping trailer for your bike?!!
You could do like Brian Campbell did and build your own camper bike!

Gee.. I can barely get up a hill pulling DD in her Chariot
. <pant, pant> Somehow, I don't think I'd ever make it over a mountain pass with one of those.

I'm worried about whether my pickup can pull a teardrop. Legs aren't gonna pull where I sleep.

The trouble with the teardrop idea is that when I start describing it to somebody hoping for feedback they tell me it sounds like a good idea and can't see any real drawbacks. There must be at least one.
