Some things are just meant to go together. Like peanut butter and jelly, Oreo cookies and milk, beer and . . . well, beer goes with just about anything as far as I’m concerned. Another great combination is the bicycle and camping.
Bikes are not just basic transit either, they can be work horses. For example, there is quite a bit of information out there on pulling a canoe with a bicycle. Via the Patent Pending Blog you can see what I am talking about. This just makes me want to go camping right now.
A trailer for a canoe is such a good idea that you would expect manufactured options to be out there. Wicyle.com has an awesome trailer that looks light and simple.
There is always the option of mixing an off the shelf product with some hacking of your own. Such is the case of mixing a DIY hitch as seen below (follow the link for details) with an L.L. Bean boat cart.
Or you can go completely self made as Carolinajim shows on his site. The final product is a thing of beauty.
Do you have any camping bike hacks? Feel free to share in comments or to submit a hack via this form.
