    Now I'm having serious trailer-lust.
    Envisioning a Costco run with my Surly and a trailer with a big ol' case of toilet paper bungeed atop my cases of SPAM, V8, cheese, eggs, Lara Bars, mushrooms, broccoli...

    They also have racks and panniers and bags and such. (cheaper than lots of places) And they have a sales page. (Ortlieb handle bar bag, anyone?)

    Knott, I'm not the best person to comment on these, but I was looking at getting a trailer a few years ago and the best model at the time was the Bob Yak. They had one at Recycled Cycles when we were there last week.

    I'm sure there are a lot of touring peeps on the board that can give you better info though.

    A trailer definitely counts for retail therapy.

    I've been yearning after the Burley Flatbed (Recycled had one a few months ago) Stable, not too expensive, can put the dog on it in his kennel crate, drag stuff in the rain in one of those Rubbermaid lock-lid tubs, carry a full Costco load, even drag SKnot's bassoon or guitar or whatever, or drag SKnot in a lawnchair like Melavai set up!

    That is very cool. I'd be all over it. You did notice the 100 lb weight restriction right. I don't think I'd try putting SKnott on there, those I'd looooooovvvvvvee to see it.

    Sknot is just over 100. Might have to get a Bikes At Work trailer, 300# weight limit!

    Hmmm, that Croozer is 8 inches wider than the Burley Flatbed... wonder if you can take the cover off and use it as a flatbed trailer? For $40, it might be worth getting instead of the Burley. Dog container, cargo cover, hmmmmmm

    The mutt and I just back from a 45 min walk. I want to haul the doggeee. The Burley Tail Wagon we saw as Recycled cycles is rated for a top weight of 50 lbs of doggeeeee goodness. Mae's just above that although with new longer brisker walks who knows Both ends of the leash may loose weight.

    I'm thinking it would be fun to get a ride in and take her with, also as she gets older and can't walk as far this would be a way to go outside.

    I may just wait and see what's left after the remodel

    Knot, Sknot is only going to be "a little over 100" for short months. He's eating a lot, isn't he? He's got a LOT of filling out to do in the next couple of years...

    If you want to spend a boatload of money on a dog trailer, look at this. I've got my eye on it for when my ship comes in.

    Oooh, those CycleTotes are cool. I like that they use full-size bike wheels.

    Just too bad they are seat-post hitch.

    Why is that bad? I would think it would be better?

    And the Doggeeeeee Tote is made in USA!

    thru an amazing series of coincidences, I'm now the proud owner of a Croozer trailer!

    SPAM is good stuff! Musubi, fried, cold, sliced over rice or potatoes, mmmmmm!
