I bet you can't tow with that!

I wonder what Andy Thompson would say about this setup?

That reminds me....it looks like I'm going to have to break down and order that brake controller I've been putting off.

That Morgan three wheeler must be so light you would hardly know its back there, is a brake controller even needed?

I'm still thinking about towing my Porsche but already slow so much on hard climbs I wonder if the coach would be happy with the extra weight?

Don't you know that all it takes to tow an Airstream is a bicycle? I've seen the pictures.

Seen it? I've done it! With the awning open for added sail power.

It's a ProHensDersen-I-LizerLiftOx. Some people say it doesn't work, but in my experience, I wouldn't bike my trailer around without it! :-)

This is our setup - notice how nice and level it sits! Perfect for travel through the Dolomites.

Careful now. With a tailwind you could get a speeding ticket.
