: Bringing the canoe back by towing it with the bicycle wsa not what
: I had in mind, but that is another option. I've seen pictures of
: Folboat's kayak trailers being towed by bicycles. I'd consider
: not using a trailer for the kayak, but instead mounting a single
: wheel where the rudder would go. and fastening a single rod from
: the seat post of the bicycle to the bow of the boat. The exact
: attachment methods are still to be invented. The boat itself
: would be assembled, and serve as the body of the
: "trailer". Since the whole assembly is moving at the
: speed of a bicycle, not a motor vehicle, the trailer wheel can
: be a bicycle wheel. Extra junk, like paddle, PFD, lunchbox, etc.
: can ride along inside the boat.

: Just some thoughts here which I'm too burned out to try and draw
: up. But I thought I'd at least plant a seed and see who wants to
: grow it.
