All I did was pick up a bike and drop it off, so no credit needed for me! u/zombieninjapirates was responsible for donating the bike, and u/funkyb and u/preparetomoveout sent me money for extra stuff.

I forgot someone else wanted to get him this trailer if there was a need for it. Does he haul lots of stuff? If so we can coordinate getting him that as well.

u/newmexicali · 12 pointsr/ElectricScooters

This is the schwinn cargo cart on Amazon it is just under a C-note so IMO good deal and well built and it folds up flat, to store and take places like camping. FYI they also make kid and pet carts as well. it is designed for a bike and there was only one small mod I had to do to make it fit on the 10x. There is a bracket that mounts to the port aft wheel where you attach and detach the cart, it looks like this. the only issue is the slot in that bracket is smaller that the stock nut on the 10x. The stock nut has a shoulder on it which makes the circumference of that nut larger than the relief in that bracket for the nut and locking washer. So I went to my local hardware store, and purchased a M10 split locking nut and most importantly a M12 size nut (got to love metric) with most importantly a 1.25 pitch thread, that is what the threads are on the axle of the wheel. All you have to do is remove your stock nut, put on the bracket, put the new nut on, tighten it down, make sure the bracket is level to ground like you do when it is on a bike. Boom, Bob's your uncle, there you go, you can now safely get a couple cases of beer back home with your scooter, easy peasy.

​

Let me know if you have any questions.

​

BTW with the cart on, the scooter rode great, you just need to be aware of the trailer length, just like when you are towing a trailer on a car, you need to take wide turns when towing.

Aosom Elite Bike Cargo / Luggage Trailer w/ Removable Cover - Black / Yellow https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0029KBA26/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_2gLAxbN8MTEHR

I got mine off of Craigslist but this was the closest thing I could find. It looks like it folds flat like mine does, so I'm going to assume that the tires come off easily as well. I will see if I can find who manufactured mine tomorrow, and I'll keep you posted.

u/Thebassetwhisperer · 7 pointsr/limejuicer

Ride a bike and use a bike trailer.

Edit: A pulled rickshaw might hold more weight.

u/canadrian · 5 pointsr/ebikes

For those trips to the hardware store: Burley Flatbed

u/jbacon · 5 pointsr/milwaukee

Harrington Beach State Park is worth a visit. Civilized shower/bathroom facilities, a cool quarry lake, and well-kept beaches on Lake Michigan.

Also very close to the Ozaukee Interurban Trail if you like biking, or you can bike there from Milwaukee - about 50 miles one way. Take the Oak Leaf up to Brown Deer Park, then hop on the Interurban from there. Continue up to Belgium, WI, turn right at County Rd D, arrive at Harrington Beach.

If you do so, I'd recommend this trailer which should hold enough gear for two people for a weekend.

u/DebMo_Cu · 5 pointsr/JustNoSO

When my son was in kindergarten we walked to school. 1/2 mile each way. And in really cold weather where the boy didn’t want to walk in the cold I used our bicycle trailer. Closed all the windows and put several sleeping bags inside each other and then he was pushed to school inside a closed environment wrapped in several layers to keep him warm. It worked really well for us. I could push 2 kindergarteners in it with no problem. The big wheels make snow easier to push thru. During bike riding conditions I could hook it up to the bike and get them there even faster.

I think they are fairly common now.

Like this one.

You could probably build something like it pretty easily, though. I live in a small apartment and can't exactly start welding stuff here though

u/je_taime · 4 pointsr/Parenting

You could get him a balance bike and/or try easing him into riding on a tandem bike or bike trailer attachment for an adult bike. A kid sits in the rear seat and can pedal, too, but the parent up front is the main cyclist.

u/Husky__Assassin · 3 pointsr/boston
u/3_HeavyDiaperz · 3 pointsr/bikepacking

I have a Burley Bee trailer and it has been excellent for hauling 2 kids around. There are fancier models with more features, but it has served its purpose.

We went through a few other cheap trailers I found on craigslist and they all eventually failed or were just a piece of crap. If you plan on using it more than a handful of times per year, I'd go quality and get a Burley. I still use it to take my 6 and 4 yo boys on bike trips sometimes (although they're heavy as shit now).

u/day1patch · 3 pointsr/bicycling

I swear that is the most unique thread I have found on reddit sof ar :)

On my bicycle I use a Bob Yak Clone (Amazon link) and really love it because having only one wheel makes everything better. That being said you wouldn't be able to attach it to your scooter as it needs to be attached to the rear wheel axle of a bike.

I highly recommend you get something with just one wheel, you will swear so much with a two-wheeler while the one-wheeler can go anywhere you can and never topples over. The one I linked would be ideal as it also folds down very small and can be used as a camping table when fliped around, but attaching it to that hitch would need some kind of custom wielded metal. If you have any way to get that done this is a very cheap way to get a really good trailer, I have had mine for over a year now and love using it frequently.

I can't ride a scooter on our streets here, but that thing looks awesome if you can by the way :)

u/ParrotofDoom · 3 pointsr/unitedkingdom

Read what he wrote. He said more cycle lanes, which means you wouldn't be dodging anyone. And you don't have to carry bags when you have a trailer.

https://www.amazon.com/Aosom-Elite-Cargo-Luggage-Trailer/dp/B0029KBA26

And three miles? That is absolutely nothing to cycle. Nothing at all.

u/tuctrohs · 2 pointsr/whichbike

Yup. The one I have from Wike has a small aluminum hitch that mounts to the bike permanently, and then the trailer attachment to that is really quick and easy. The have a bunch of cargo trailer options. I have the "City Shopper"; the City Cargo looks like a good option as well, though heavier with a steel frame. But there are lots of out there; the cheap Schwinn on Amazon looks like a fine option.

u/gsasquatch · 2 pointsr/ebikes

The key I think is a bike trailer. I have one for the kids, and with 50lbs back there, it's not as noticeable as you'd think, even pedaling the old fashioned way. My trailer is about 24"x36"

So, for batteries, 60 mile range, at 50 watt/hour per mile means you'll need 3000 watt hours. Lithium Ion gives you about 128 watt hours per kg, so that's about 24kg, or about 60lbs. Probably close to $2500 for battery, charger, etc.

If you look for solar panels you can get a 100 watt semi-flexible panel. Semi-flexible is more for the weight, I'd mount it on some 1/4" ply. Probably enough to give you 30 miles in 3 days or so. They are 2' x 4' so, more area than you'd want on a bike, getting back to the trailer. Trailer would also be a handy place to store your gear. Make sure you get/make the appropriate charge controller. I'd guess about $800 for panels, controller, mount trailer etc.


Between a big enough battery to actually do the round trip, and some solar charging in case you want to go further, I'd say it'd be entirely feasible. You could even power the trailer, and leave only a throttle and a hitch on your bike.

You could trade off some watt hours in battery for solar, where you make that cut is up to you and how much you think you're into pedaling, how long you'll be out, whether you can find AC for a while on the way.

Personally for the bike I'd go heavy and comfortable with a big mid-drive running at 48 volts. I'd keep one battery on the bike for running around without the trailer. I'd say about $2500 for bike, motor, trailer, controller etc.

The devil is in the details though, with the bike choice, and the electronic jiggery pokery. It's feasable. It'd be real cool. You could make the trailer look real spiffy.


Solar charge controller, might work: https://www.amazon.com/Y-SOLAR-Regulator-Controller-Battery-DC12-60V/dp/B01IBGXM86/ref=sr_1_31?ie=UTF8&qid=1469222375&sr=8-31&keywords=48v+solar+charger

For all of this you are comfortably into the range of buying a motorcycle.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B002MCYWHG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_DJ9BCbEVPJECT

Liked it a lot because you could chat to them a d they weren't stuck looking at your bottom

u/cdcyclist · 2 pointsr/cycling

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002QAVQ14/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_xMhPBbX0S7GTV

The kid trailers like this one will work for a dog but the dog's nails will obliterate the nylon so pull one of the floormats out of your broken car and put it in there for the dog to stand on. The arm has like a spring-loaded connection point so it should work at pretty much any angle to mount at the axle/quick release point. Once you mount the connector to the bike it's just a pin to attach the trailer. Easy to remove for when/if he rides without the dog.

Sorry about your car, I hope you're able to get it fixed eventually.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00762O452/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I use this to go to Trader Joes. This trailer is lightweight and clicks on practically any bike. Also has a very large detachable orange bag. You could probably also put your dog in the trailer, but it becomes quite unstable.

u/papasmurf255 · 2 pointsr/todayilearned

You can get a grocery cart, a bike trailer or panniers.

Half a mile of walking is 10-15 minutes; biking takes 3-5 minutes.

u/not_so_impossible · 2 pointsr/bikecommuting

Depends on how much you need. If it's just a quick trip or a few small things, a backpack or basket/panniers. For bigger loads, I have one of these trailers. Got it last summer and it works perfectly so far, though the grocery store is only 1.5 miles away, with no hills. I could see it getting a bit heavy going uphill. My husband even did a Costco trip with it, which was 16 miles round trip, and it worked great (and was quite the workout for him pulling it home, it was probably ~80lbs of bulk groceries). Weight limit is 180 lbs, so it's a good option if you see yourself occasionally wanting to do errands carrying a lot, for a lot cheaper than a cargo bike.

u/Black_Belt_Troy · 2 pointsr/AskWomen

I gotchu bro.

You might have to switch from speed cycling to endurance though.

u/esh-pmc · 2 pointsr/bikecommuting

Yeah? I was thinking more along the lines of a flat-bed trailer https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B0083JHEG8/ for instance. I could haul a wider range of stuff like bags of sand or dirt or plants for landscaping or stuff for the occasional home improvement/repair project. So far the only thing couldn’t use the bike for were a couple of prints I had framed last fall.

For now I’m going to keep track of how many times I run into situations where the lack of a trailer forces me to use the car instead. I feel I should give it a full year of committed cycling and experimentation before investing in any more gear.

u/Obliviousdevotee · 2 pointsr/Parenting

We got this one! So nice, and we get so many compliments on it so clearly no one thinks we're crazy/bad parents for using it!

u/TamboresCinco · 2 pointsr/MTB

For those curious:

When she was two she started riding with me on a bike seat and using a balance bike that converts to pedals.

Around 3.5 years old she started to pedal with training wheels (never doing that again with my younger boys)

When she was 4 I bought her a used 20" coaster brake cannondale knowing one day she'd use it.

5 is when I was able to take the training wheels off that 20" and taking her to the easy stuff on the trails.

Last weekend we picked up this brand new 20" Specialized RipRock

Links:

Bike seats:

Tyke Toter (Seat clamp style)

Shotgun Kids MTB seat <<< This is the one I use now for my youngest 2 year old boy and highly recommend over the Tyke Toter

Bikes:

Vilano 12" convertible balance/pedal bike (Can't seem to find it available anymore but I like that concept.)

Specialized RipRock 20

Norco Roller 16 - This is the bike I just got my 3.5 year old son who is close to being able to pedal. For riding trails I didn't want a coaster brake (I removed it from that used 20" Canondale for my girl.)

​

Hope this helps any current or future parents out there.

u/ShadowedPariah · 2 pointsr/daddit

I used a pull behind cart and she loves it. Room to put some toys in and keeps bugs and stuff off her.

u/MiserableFungi · 2 pointsr/ebikes

>I do all of my commuting with a toddler.

Would you consider getting a trailer? As an addition to a free bike, it'll be a pretty sweet deal. Your kid(s) might get a real kick out of it.

u/E28A-AD61 · 2 pointsr/AirForce

Having your back and helping you out is not the same as dropping everything at a moments notice for a package man.

A little advice: don't revert to a bad attitude because something didn't go your way, it does take some time to get settled in, but that's something you've got to do one your own for the most part. Take a deep breath, calm down, and everything will be OK. I had the walk a 1.5 miles to get a 24 pack of water and toilet paper from the BX a time or two before I got my ride situation figured out. It's just something you gotta do. Keep you attitude right, and don't shut yourself off from everyone over this.

Hope you get along at your new base

Edit: these things are awesome for toting packages and groceries.

u/artsignedanon · 2 pointsr/bikecommuting

I've used a trailer to commute to softball, I use an older model of [this] (http://www.amazon.com/Aosom-Elite-Luggage-Trailer-Removable/dp/B0029KKQSK/ref=sr_1_5?s=cycling&ie=UTF8&qid=1398795298&sr=1-5). Coupled with a cooler for the beer and a bat bag you can carry one heck of a load. The Burleys and Bobs are probably better constructed but too expensive for my budget.

u/norwhale · 2 pointsr/lowcar

My buddy had a similar problem, he also had a large dog to take around. His solution was to get a bike trailer like this. He said it worked good for hauling the dog/groceries/music gear around.

u/k3rnelpanic · 1 pointr/bikecommuting

If she hates bikes why not start with a trailer? It might make her feel more secure. I know my trailer has a 100lbs rating.

Maybe once she gets used to the speed and feeling of that switch to a trail a bike.

u/the_real_xuth · 1 pointr/bikecommuting

I'm used to seeing them more like this: https://www.amazon.com/Burley-Design-Bike-Trailer-Yellow/dp/B010LLGWKE and as you click around, the majority of bike trailers are like this. There are definitely some that are built better but you have to really look for them.

u/kingpinjoel · 1 pointr/bicycling

I like the burley classic hitch as it doesn't require a part permanently attached to the bike, its a little heavier and bulkier than other hitches but the convenience can't be beat.

http://www.amazon.com/Burley-Bicycle-Trailer-Hitch-Classic/dp/B000R9CHAA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1380996922&sr=8-1&keywords=burley+classic+hitch

u/pyl_time · 1 pointr/hockeyplayers

I was considering that, but not sure where I'd put my sticks. I was thinking something more like this with bungees to keep it all tied down...

u/hal1300-1 · 1 pointr/bicycling

How is that trailer in handling? On a heavy load, does it tug at the bike / bounce? I have http://amzn.com/B0083JHEG8 and it seems to bounce / tug at the bike as I'm pedalling but maybe that's just normal. Are the tires/rims good quality?

u/BeePeeaRe · 1 pointr/bikecommuting

I have a trailer that I use pretty much exclusively for transporting hockey equipment when I can't bum a ride to the rink. Works well, full movement, just a pain when getting started and going up hills.

u/marvin_sirius · 1 pointr/bicycling

Yeah, if you are going bike-only having a cargo trailer is definitely worth it. I have a Croozer trailer that has served me well. You can sometimes find it for just under $200. There is something very similar from Aosom which you can also find on eBay, etc. It is much cheaper but I have no experience with it.

u/MooseyDoooom · 1 pointr/bicycling

It looks like the Burley Flat Bed trailer, meant for hauling up to 100lbs, attaches the same way as the kid trailers? What trailers attach the way you're talking about?
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K4VLBRQ/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_15?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

u/astrofizix · 1 pointr/bicycletouring

it came with a quick release skewer, and I believe a bolt on skewer as well. The skewers are heavy with a sort of 90's style qr lever. The latches to connect the trailer to the skewer are large and clunky, but I think they would lock well enough. I believe someone mentioned a bad rattle and suggested a wrap of tape on the connection to prevent noisy vibration. Check out the customer images on amazon for some great detail on the product.

u/skittlesnbugs · 1 pointr/dogs

Have you looked on Amazon? This double toddler one claims it's rated for 100lbs and is a touch less than $100. Then there's this dog specific one for about 25 more after shipping, and is rated for 120 lbs.

At this point I'm trying to decide between reusing (I'll probably have kids in 5-10 years, it'd be nice to be able to re-use the trailer) or comfort for the dog. I'm not sure if the double toddler seats in the non-dog version would be particularly comfortable to try and spread out across.

u/XxXGodXxX · 1 pointr/ebikes

I always try to over engineer whatever i do. I'm very paranoid about things breaking or failing. I plan to get some more ratchet straps and stop using ropes altogether. The more stable the better!
My trailer is the Aosom Elite II Bike Cargo

I got it quite a bit cheaper than the current price, at around 70$ I believe. It is a excellent trailer. The frame is very strong rated for 180 lbs, I'm not sure why the link says 88lbs maybe it is a cheaper made updated model or just inaccurate. The stock tires/tubes are cheap but I am still using them(2 years) and they get the job done i suppose. The material also rubs against the tire if there is a lot of stuff in it, no holes have been burned in yet but i plan to use some plywood and zip ties to fix that.(I just a had a good idea, I'll try out some cardboard with ductape over the bit i put the zip ties, should be strong enough and much lighter) Its great and I recommend this trailer completely to anyone looking to buy one.

u/Toulvern · 1 pointr/bikecommuting

I would try something like that:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0038LPO5Y?th=1
that way you can load it in the store and just clip it to the bike.

u/aleii1 · 1 pointr/Parenting

What about one of those bicycles with the trailer attached? Something like this? That would cut your time down to 15-20 minutes to get somewhere.

u/dasunt · 1 pointr/bicycletouring

Amazon has some reviews.

Have you checked ebay/CL for another BOB?

u/moronometer · 1 pointr/bicycletouring

As a dog lover, I second this.

Here's an idea- might be goofy, but what if you get something like this, fill it with your clothes or other soft stuff, and tow the pups in there? Would that work? I imagine it will slow you down somewhat, but since time isn't a factor, who cares?

This way, mama pup can run with you for a few minutes, but when she gets tired, lay down and continue the journey in the back.

Actually, I just had an even stranger thought- what about an adult-sized trailer? That thing looks pretty comfy. I will totally pull you for 15 miles if you return the favor. This could be a whole new form of bike touring!

u/Blueberryspies · 1 pointr/bicycling

I got an Aosom from a friend who moved. It isn't waterproof and if you pack it too tight the cargo holder will rub against the wheel and tear, but other than that it works great.

u/bobstay · 1 pointr/daddit

We got a WeeRide seat for ours, and he was happy in it from about 9 months. We didn't want to put him on a bike before that because we read the vibrations aren't good for the spine.

Pros:

  • Baby is in front of you, so you can see what he's doing / interact with him, and he can see forwards. We definitely wanted this rather than a rear-mounted seat.
  • Mounts to the frame, not the handlebars, so child isn't a dead weight on the handlebars and you can get on/off the bike without worrying about tipping him off so much.
  • Can get a spare bar, and so swap it between two bikes - handy because of the frog-leg point discussed below...
  • Front rest so he can fall asleep on it.
  • Easy to detach (the bar stays attached but doesn't get in the way)

    Cons:
  • Makes you stick your knees out sideways and cycle a bit frog-legged which isn't great for posture or long distances. Having another bar and being able to share with mum helps.
  • When they get bigger they can try to steer...

    We didn't want a trailer because I would be terrified of a car not noticing it behind the bike (flag notwithstanding) and crushing the baby. We've used them off-road on holidays though, and they are great if you're not in traffic.

    As for helmets, we got the smallest kid helmet and it adjusted small enough to fit him. They soon grow, so I wouldn't worry if it's a bit loose to start with - it'll only be for a short while.

u/Corbixz · 1 pointr/birdcharger

You may be right though.

u/l33t5p34k · 1 pointr/bicycling

Oh she is probably what about 30 lbs I think you are at the upper limit.
I bought This InStep Quick N EZ Double Bicycle Trailer and she loved it, I always felt like it was going to fall off the curb or hit a pole or something. I got a Wheehoo off of craigslist and while we are riding the 5 year old likes it but for some reason when we stop she decides its scary and its going to tip so its been a struggle to get her to want to go for rides. I really like pulling the Weehoo and you can really feel when they are pedaling with you.

u/truffleshuffler · 1 pointr/BurningMan

Oh sorry I mighta been confused about your question. So a simple bike rack is what I was referencing re: $30. Some fit 2 bikes, some 3. Buy one shaped for your general ride (e.g. Sedan vs. SUV). In addition to that, I am modifying a bike trailer to pull around friends/ladies/ice. Like this one! Gonna put some pillows or parts of an office chair on it. We'll see...

u/le-crow · 1 pointr/bicycling

u/imdickie · 1 pointr/MTB

These are great suggestions.

I did find a nice rear rack that attaches to the seatpost and a flatbed trailer I really liked.

It's funny, my main reason for going rigid on the forks was to save weight, but here I am adding significant weight.

I think it I will likely try a different, more comfortable saddle, fenders, tires, and I may go with some sort of handlebar set up that gives me a better angle when riding. Long rides on the bike as it is now tend to make my lower back stiff/sore.

u/psyduckhunt · 1 pointr/simpleliving

If you have a bike. you could think about getting a bike trailer. I have the Burley Flatbed cargo trailer and it's been really versatile. I've even hauled my a large flat screen TV home with it.

u/Thangleby_Slapdiback · 1 pointr/bicycling

Cool. Looks like a good buy. How does it track and does it affect handling at all?

I've been looking at doing some touring and have been looking at a single wheel trailer rather than panniers. The Bob and Yak trailers get a bunch of love, but I can't see throwing down what much money on something that I'd not use very often. The single wheel design seems pretty good for touring purposes.

I've thought about converting a child carrier trailer to a cargo trailer, but I've heard some negatives voiced about using two wheeled trailers on tour.

Have you experienced any downsides w/ the two wheeled design?

u/royalpineapple · 1 pointr/BurningMan

We bought one of these bike trailers this year, it was awesome for ice runs, as well as the long trek from 3&B to Hell's Station.
Ours even fit a standard cooler so we were able to deliver ice cream to friends all across the playa.

It's detachable, so you don't have to keep it mounted to your bike all week. The one downside is that you need to attach a hitch to your bike, so you'll either have only one bike that can tow the trailer or buy some extra hitches (our plan for next year).

  • As for the bikes themselves, I imagine a hybrid or mountain bike would both be sufficient for our needs?

  • Are there any bike brands that we should target or other we should stay away from?

  • Looking at bike charts, it looks like I should target a 23" frame and my wife a 15-17" frame. Are those good for us?

I used this with my kids and they seemed to enjoy it for the time being then transitioned to the trailer, similar to your link. Stay away from Walmart / store brand bikes.

u/photo1kjb · 1 pointr/bicycling

Check out the InStep trailers on Amazon. They are ridiculously less expensive than Burley or Avenir, but seem to have great reviews. Haven't purchased one, but it's been in my shopping cart for about 2 months now for our pup (the dog-branded ones add $100 for no reason).
