It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

A recent post made me want to share and see how other people are carrying and towing voluminous stuff with bicycles. Show us your #carryshitolympics, or just regular hauls.

For example, I live on an archipelago and have a kayak and a SUP that I carry around with bike trailers. Depending on my destination and what I'm carrying, I use an Aosom trailer with a flat bed, but most of the times I can get away with a lighter Burley Travoy. Here are some pictures.

I like that trailer. I do not haul stuff with my bike, mostly because my dog travels with me 99% of the time and I do not have a great way to haul her with me too. She is 8 1/2 and not as quick as she used to be.

I have been looking at building my own trailer like the one in the image I quoted so she can ride in it, or run as she feels fit to do.
