It worked fine, except that going downhill was frightening because the bicycle brakes didn't work too well at stopping such a heavy load. I would think a light kayak would be a little better. However, you might look into seeing if it's possible to put rear brakes from a tandem bicycle on your bike. They're made for stopping heavy loads. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Anna L Lind" <alind_at_cc.helsinki.fi> Subject: [Paddlewise] kayaks carts and bicycles ? > I noticed a bicycle powered kayak trailer in a magazine, has anyone > comments on using them and on different models (if there are)? *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
