Feeling very down rn, but sometime soon, I’ll get to build up this bike trailer

@bikepedantic looks very bikes-at-work, you may need a piece of plywood, you can get right-thickness Okoume marine plywood at Boulter Plywood not terribly far from where you are, though it is across the Mystic River so a little sketch. The will do cuts for (I think) $.50 per cut, their saw and table are better than yours.

@bikepedantic I have the 64W, which is nice for wide stuff but is also wide enough that I try not to use it anywhere near bicycle rush hour.

@dr2chase @bikepedantic whoa, not familiar with these, must be amazing build quality for the investment. also customer pic of hauling a canoe(!)

@knizer @bikepedantic There are times I wish I had gotten the next size larger, but 64 seems to be as large as you can get around the curves on the bridge over Storrow drive or the ramp up to the Harvard Bridge. Pretty sure a canoe is easy cargo. Been wondering if I should get one of these for the bike in FL so I can bike little boat things to the beach.

@bikepedantic @dr2chase For a minute there I was like, "Wtf, Sunlite makes bike trailers and they actually look decent??"

@bikepedantic With that added to your UA, you will be the bike equivalent to those scary semis with double trailers. 🤣

@bikepedantic I hauled >500lbs of potatoes and cabbages up Beacon Hill on one of those once!

@poorpossum haven’t ridden it yet, but I’m just so impressed with the quality and obvious care that went into the design.

@emily it’s a Bikes At Work 64A. Not ridden it yet, but it is a very solid high quality bit of engineering

@bikepedantic oh wow, that’s a beefy piece of equipment! I am excited to hear how it works for you.
