Ah, the weather's turned, and I've just about accumilated all
of the devices I need for my long-planned upon trip along the "Little Miami Bike Trail". Yes, I just need to pick up my new bivy, purchase this year's fishing license, and I'll be ready
to travel the bike trail TOWING MY CANOE! Yep, I plan to
bicycle north to Yellow Springs, Ohio, then collapse my bike (it's a foldable), put it in my Pelican Explorer, and paddle my way back downstream to Cin. city, Ohio... it will happen soon!


Sounds fun. Looks like almost 60 miles one-way as the crow flies - how far
is it as the bike pedals or as the boat paddles?
Here's a picture I took yesterday of the setup for towing my kayak:

This was just for a day trip on a reservoir - if I need to carry the bike I
tow my double kayak instead.
