Gear Talk / Re: Using a surf board as a bike trailer

« on: February 08, 2015, 09:33:20 am »

Back in the early 70's as a kid I did the similar with a Snark sailboat.  I built a "trailer" platform from two 20 in. bike wheels for the stern of the boat.  I attached with ropes, before the days of velcro straps.  At the bow I create a hitch from Dad's leftover pvc sprinkler pipe, attached to the seatpost.  The boat was 11ft long, so the rig was a sight on the road.  I used the boat to carry the cooler, bag lunch and fishing poles.

I was on Mapquest yesterday planning a route to drive our granddaughter home to Oklahoma from Florida.  I noticed the site has a selector to allow selection of bicycle as mode of transport.  Has anyone used this function to plan a bike tour?  BTW, it calculated the same trip by bike as taking 87 hours/ 1261 miles.
