Dog in a trailer

[TsPoet]

I've got a little longing in my greedy soul for this trailer:

If I took the top cover off, I could strap on the dog crate.

Then, when I win the lottery and decide to bike around the world I can just put the cover back on and carry all my goodies.

I've looked into that for Beelzebub. That specific trailer has a canvas floor, you might consider the Burley Flatbed instead, a dog crate would fit on it and be strapped down. It's also cheaper.
(I changed my mind, Bub has earned his name and no one's ankles would be safe with him behind me in a trailer - too bad).

I would LOVE to take my dog Zeke on a bike ride with me. He rides in the front of the kayak when we float. (We don't do whitewater.) What a great idea, a dog in a trailer! He would love that. I would never let him run with me, though. Too much can happen.

My dog Percy (20-year-old Jack Russell) has spent many a mile in a canoe or in my lap on a tube floating down the river. She didn't like the kayak because she couldn't see out or jump out for a swim on occasion.

This is from the MS150 2004. This dog couldn't have been light! I heard he was whimpering by the end of the ride. Probably was a bit too long in the trailer for him. I think someone mentioned seeing this dog again this year.

I take my Australian Shepherd in a Burley trailer as well as in my kayak with me. He stays put other than one time at a busy intersection he got scared and jumped out, so I grabbed him and walked to the sidewalk. Now if we'll be in loud traffic areas we'll put the cover on it.

My only problem with it is that it makes parking the bikes a *lot* more complicated.

In the summer of 2000, I was splitting my time between Tallahassee, Floridia and Richmond, Virginia. There was a ride that year called Bike south, whic was a combo of Bike Florida, BAMA(Alabama), BRAG(Georgia), Cycle South Carolina(which got extended into the other Carolina, and Bike Viriginia. one of the riders who did all 6 states was called the Goat lady, because she brought along her pet goat, which was towed in a burley trailer. I remeber working Bike Florida as a SAG Driiver between Carrabelle and Blountstown in late June. it was extremly hot and humid. To top it off , we had the usual horde of horseflies following us. The goat got transferred to one of the stronger riders in the local club, as the Goat Lady had to be sagged in. Lady and goat did make it all the way to Virginia, though.
