Hey, that's one heck of a setup. When camping I tow a BOB YAK trailer with a
hardtail mountain bike. The trailer is far too small to use for a canoe. Can
you give me some ideas on how to attach the end of the canoe to my hardtail?
Have a good one.


My attachment method is very simple. I take the bow line from my kayak,
loop it through the seat rails of the Brooks Pro on my Bike Friday and tie
it with a knot.
Note that this this works with the relatively large clearance between the
seat and rear tire found on the Bike Friday with 20" tires and may not be
suitable for bicycles with larger wheels and/or shorter riders.

Here's a picture I took yesterday of the setup for towing my kayak:
