Default Homebrew Kayak Trailer for Bicycle

you may find this video on bicycling/canowing interesting. I am
planning to install a bike rack into my canoe and solve the problem of
car shuttling this way.a 10 mile canoe trip is half a day adventure,
and a 10 mile bike ride back is nothing (~30 min?)


I hope that you aren't planning to average 20 MPH for 10 miles pulling
a canoe! Maybe you're MUCH stronger than I am, but I still doubt that
you oculd manage that speed!

Also... I find it interesting that the setup in the video (thanks for
the link!) did manage to make the front piece separate from the rear
piece, effectively making the trailer much smaller. I'm surprised
that the tongue weight wasn't a problem too because I found that even
a small difference in position put far too much weight on the bike,
yet their wheels are way in the back.
