Re: [RBW] Re: Carrying groceries on your bike

I came across this Kickstarter campaign for a rack mounted device designed to securely hold shopping bags and was reminded of this thread. It's interesting if you mostly use these types of

Re: [RBW] Re: Carrying groceries on your bike

I have a Burley Nomad and a Burley Travoy (seat post mount). I have found that the axle hitch on the Nomad doesn’t fit on my little 26” Appaloosa as the curved drop out protector comes in too tight to allow the Nomad hitch to sit flat, so I leave the Nomad hitch on the Clem, and the Travoy

I have a pretty simple setup: rear rack with a basket. Here's the configuration in action on my way to a DJ gig. For bigger hauls I just throw panniers on either side of the rack [image: unnamed.jpg] On Monday, October 9, 2023 at 12:04:03 PM UTC-4 ted...@gmail.com wrote: > I’ve been very

Re: [RBW] Re: Carrying groceries on your bike

I’ve been very happy with my Burly Nomad , and generally leave the hitch mounted on the bike most of the time. I’m not certain why trailers are not used by more people. I find it safer and easier to manage loads. Takes up a bit more space where ever you may be

Include me in the pannier party. Once I felt I had reached the limit of safe riding with a Costco run (low-speed shimmies, though everything was smooth and stable at "speed".) Got home and weighed the load, it was 55 pounds. Rear rack only, Ortlieb "city" panniers. -Wes On Thursday, October 5,

^^This looks great, cool bike! But why use a B.O.B. when you have an open front basket and rear rack with no panniers? On Friday, October 6, 2023 at 2:06:43 AM UTC-4 Luke Hendrickson wrote: > [image: image.jpeg] > > Just got a B.O.B.! > > On Thursday, October 5, 2023 at 10:20:52 PM UTC-7 Lucky

Re: [RBW] Re: Carrying groceries on your bike

Hi Paul — If you're regularly hauling loads like in your picture it would be worthwhile to get set up with some good racks and panniers. A handlebar load of 36 lbs sounds dicey! I'm impressed you got a photo of the bars loaded up while in motion. I've had a few setups over the years. The one
