In Response To: Other: Bicycle towed kayak trailer? (Brian McCarty)

Lots of great ideas in this thread.

I rescued my neighbor's old golf cart from his junk pile, but haven't decided what to do with it yet. The handle and carriage (for the golf bag) are beat up, but the lever mechanism to spread the wheels still works smoothly, and when folded, doesn't take up much space. I thought of putting a couple of rails on it, to strap under the kayak just behind the cockpit, then some other separate attachment for attaching to the bike. Or maybe it'll just be a "walker", using the front toggle as a lead.

Has anyone tried this? I wonder what the weight limits of a golf cart are (Anyone????...., Anyone????.....). This one's pretty old, so maybe a bit sturdier than the ones they sell today.
