Ya gotta carry stuff to be a utility bicyclist.
Now that I have a Burley Nomad, I can carry a lot more stuff — like groceries and such. And when the farmer’s market opens, well, just look out. I’ll be buyin’ some food.
It’s attached to my Marin Pioneer Trails here. And I’ll soon be able to hitch it to my Redline.
The set up you see here will get me from one end of the Katy Trail to the other this May. Stay tuned for that.

sweet! I’ve been thinking about getting some kind of trailer for the same reasons..
Andy when are you hitting the Katy trail? I think I’ll be riding across the state and back sometime in May as well..

If you’ve not gotten it already, Brett Dufur’s guidebook is a must have.

I’ve got several sets of pics over on my bike trips page from the various excursions we made there. Unfortunately, the first was from before the digital age!

Rodney is working on a trailer-building event for CO readers. I’ve been borrowing a trailer from time to time, I can’t wait to have my own!!
Posted 05 Mar 2010 at 6:41 am ¶Brad… I’m just going one way this first time.
Tracy… Yes. I have it. A great resource!
Steve… More like 100 trips to the store
Keri… Took it for a quick spin before I took the pick. I’m looking forward to its first load — groceries on Sunday. Hmmmm… a blogging opportunity
