This section of our blog focus's on all things bike cargo trailer. Bike cargo trailers are amazing tools for getting more out of a bicycle. From bike touring, to commuting and errands, to trail work, bike cargo trailers are the perfect tool for hauling stuff by bike. Not only do we cover bike cargo trailers, we also blog about cargo bikes and related topics like Xtracycle kits. The topic of bike child trailers and trailer-cycles is covered at the Family Cycling section.

Submit Your Bike Trailer Photos

Here at the Bike Trailer Blog we are going in a new direction, driven by your photos and stories of your bike trailers and experiences. We greatly encourage user feed back from products purchased from our sites, Bike Trailer Shop, Bike Bag Shop and Bike Kid Shop. We are also very interested in any cool DIY bike trailers or bike trailer accessory setups that someone has designed on their own. This blog is about sharing the fun and creativity of customizing and using your own bike trailer and to develop a forum to help spread ideas and resources.

Massachusetts BOB Trailer Tour

Written on August 2, 2010 by Josh Lipton in Bike Cargo Trailers

John sent us in these photos of his bike tour through Massachusetts that he titled his “200+ Mile Senior Citizen Tour”. From the looks of it, I’d say that most young guys would have to be in pretty good shape to keep up with John and his fully loaded BOB Trailer with Greenspeed Rack, 4D Toplight and Ortlieb Panniers. From the looks of it, John had a great time cruising along the Cape Cod Rail Trail.

Here are a few words John sent along with the pictures:

Actually got Bob and the orange panniers from you guys in 2009………this adventure was 10 May to 13 May 2010. The bike is a K2 Easy Street Bike with some add ons….and nothing to be ashamed of after almost 2000 miles. It may be asked to yield to a Thorn Raven if this geezer proves that he deserves one in the future.

John, I am a 54 yr old Army guy in Afghan right now and looking to ride across the states when I get back. I’m looking to honor my fallen comrades and expect to carry my camping load. Wondered what it’s like for you going up & down mountainous roads with your trailer? Also, how much weight did you carry? Appreciate any insights. I have a Trek 4300 here that I’m working my way up to at least one to two 70 mile rides (around the perimeter of our camp) before I come home. My name is Chaplain Gary Williams and my email is nutsforicecream@yahoo.com

Yes……too bad SCUBA Diving and Cave Diving are not “Fitness Sports”. If you have friends who dive or have been to any dive resorts around the world, you know there are too many overweight divers and too many who still smoke. I’m an older instructor/diver so I have to find ways to stay in shape. Bicycle riding is one way….there are others….but I manage to combine exercise with travel and so far….so good……of course the body on the unicycle on our workshops page 2 belongs to me…..the other one is on loan …. John

I couldn’t find the unicycle pix at first. I guess I thought they were on the home page but it was on this one: http://www.buoyancyquest.com/workshops_2.html
The diving videos were great!
