So on my trip out west I see these guys all over the place and out in the middle of nowhere...
What are they packing in those saddle bags? Any of you bike cross country like his? Let's see your gear. I would see these people out in the middle of nothing in Wyoming, trucking it up hills and thru dessert. No thank you. Not me. |

Too much work for you? That's the camping gear in the packs.

I get this guy...
motorcycle....from Alaska and heading east thru Nebraska. Saw a couple with Harley's at the KOA. They were sleeping in a one person tent. When I walked past in the morning they were already packed and ready to head out. That is a cheap way to travel. $25 a night for a camping spot and next to nothing for gas. See the country. |

You should be able to find some fat tires for those things somewhere. |

Non-rutted hard pack and paved surfaces are really the only places I would use a kiddie hauler you get it sidehilling even on something like a 4 wheeler rut and it will flip. It doesn't track as all as a one wheeled bob trailer and if while going down ruts one wheel slides all of them will including the ass end of your bike. I don't see bigger tires helping the trailer for my main complaints. The cogburn actually isn't that bad my buddies Borealis is sitting at $5,500 all carbon badassness. Mine with new (used) tires upgraded freehub and new tubes is $345 total opposite end of the spectrum. |

Any of you bike cross country like his? Let's see your gear. I would see these people out in the middle of nothing in Wyoming, trucking it up hills and thru dessert. No thank you. Not me. You must need assistance getting up off the couch. Get a bicycle you might like it. Shouldn't be to hard to bike there since FL is as flat as a pancake. I ride at least 20 miles here (3200') almost every day on my short course. I'm 56 and can average 17-19 mph, depending on headwinds, since I treat the ride as a time trial. Great way to lose weight, and build up the legs & cardiovascular system for hunting season up in the mtns. Haven't done any touring like those in the pics since I've always preferred racing since I was young. My .02 |

This was posted over at Survival CACHE: Survival Bicycling: Part 1 Survival Bicycling: Part 2 In part two they talk about different trailers. Which one is best for down hill over ruff terrain!! Something maybe on You-tube as well???? Sorry did not mean to HI-Jack this tread. Trying to getting back in to bike riding! Been a while!!! Carry on!!! PITA45
