That was a good idea. I once saw a small sized trailer, I regretted not buying for 99 euros.

And that is zoomed-in. Get any closer and it would have flown-off. 👍

I can see why you posted that your wife divorced you. She wanted to be around normal people, whom you kept scarring away, Qtard.

Ahahahahahahahaha....

For Mt. Biking I use a Camelbak and can just manage a small med kit, a few tools, and a camera/extra batteries for the GoPro in it.

Road bike I just have a water bottle. Too many nuts on the road (bother cagers and the peloton "let's take up both lanes" crowd) so I don't do as much roading anymore.

It depends on your needs.
I use a trailer that is shaped like a flat bed. I use a tarp and straps to tie the tarp down and keep everything together.

Very similar to this one. I laid some boards across the bottom and side and it’s very strong.

I was concerned about it being too wide at times, but that hasn’t proven to be the case yet.

Buying a new road bike can be one of life’s bigger decisions. For many, it’s as large a commitment as getting a new car or going on a big holiday and you’ll hopefully have it for a long time. So it has to be right.

And there are so many questions! How do I know what’s right for me? Do I need a carbon frame? Do I go aero? Do I go lightweight? Do I need disc brakes? Should I consider tubeless-ready wheels?

If you need some help with the basics, head to our beginner’s guide to road cycling and don’t miss our guide to the parts of a road bike to help get your head around any technical jargon.

Wow the one I was looking at was a rinky-dink 1/3 of that.

Happy trail(er)s to you!

Cyclists Now Outnumber Motorists In City Of London
Cyclists are now the “single largest vehicular mode counted during peak times on City streets,” says a report to the transportation committee of the City of London Corporation, the municipal governing body of London’s square mile.

The traffic count figures are in a briefing document provided to councilors for a committee meeting next Tuesday.

At peak times, people cycling represent 40% of road traffic in the City and 27% throughout the day.

This morning (Sunday) I saw a squirrel on a large tree stump. I got my camera in hand, zoomed... then when I took the picture there was two squirrels.
