hey Robert, That's a great little film! Wow! Those Bromptons sure don't look very stable at speed, but they fit nicely on those rafts. I love that Alistair was wearing an airline pfd. Hopefully, the person in his seat on the next flight didn't need it. Thanks for sharing that. Cheers, John

It looks like you've got a pannier of some sort attached to the left fork. Did you leave that attached? BTW, that's some Appaloosa! Beautiful color. Root beer? It was on in the early iterations to hold the PFD. I eventually figured out a better way to hold it on a rear rack - the pannier

Essentially, this was what Busch & Muller did with the Luxos U, which everyone but me seems to have disliked. It's one of the heaviest LED headlights of the last 15 years, specifically because there's a lithium battery inside the headlight enclosure. The dynamo charges up the battery, and then

Oooh and aaah! Thanks for the photos Colin. I wish you had posted this months ago before I bought mine! $1000 seems a good deal. C'est la vie! I have yet to use my Caribou as winter up here is more conducive to skating the river than floating it, but those days are coming soon. I appreciate

Patrick, I've posted my "Joe-Rafter" here before and I think John Rinkler picked one up in the winter? But yes, this raft was designed with having a heavy bike loaded on the front of the raft, no mini/foldable/small wheeled bike required. I essentially used it to bike up river, strap my bike

I'm not in the market, sorry, but I find that little inflatable very interesting. Is the boat designed specifically for packing on a bike, then floating the bike down river, then back to bike packing? I didn't know that this combination was a thing. And isn't the Appaloosa a long wheelbase model?
