This looks amazing





Be even better if it had solar panels on the roof....

Perfect for a jaunt round the Peak District.

Probably a bit risky if it's windy - but it looks like a good idea.

An unfolding mini caravan for cyclists... it's called a tent

 

[rubbershoes]

Great idea, but I'm scared to find out the weight of it

 

[T & P]

What kind of average distance is your typical cyclist going to achieve towing that? I guess it'd be okay if you were planning a road trip in which each day you travelled no further than 15 miles down the road from the previous night's location, and were happy with the fact that you'd be unable to visit any local pubs and amenities in the evening due to falling asleep exhausted the moment you'd finished assembling the contraption.

Does no one remember what happened in Sightseers?

There are these amazing things called e-bikes. They're very popular now.

Cracking film

This guy even has a small electric blanket, but keeps the temp higher than I do at home using a modified camp stove with chimney.

I heard of a new tech called a "motorcycle". Even faster, and more towing power.
And plans are allegedly afoot for a 4-wheeled version with a bigger engine - it's rumoured you could tow something that's practically a portable house!

Amazing times.

It’s just been invented to troll all the Clarkson disciples, a bike and a caravan all at once.

 

[bellaozzydog]

Bivvi bag tarp, sleeping mat and decent sleeping bag normally does the job for cycle touring

That’s a lot of calories need burning to pull it round and no doubt other motorists are a dangerous menace to your safety pulling it

Over engineering fetishism

 

[Dogsauce]

I would have thought the equivalent of a trailer tent would make more sense, less weight and height.

Or a version without the trailer part. Something that might fit in a backpack...

My knees hurt just looking at these things

That's a grit box...

We'll see long tailbacks of cursing cyclists unable to overtake.

Nobody will take this sort of contraption seriously unless it is accompanied by sheep.

He’s the real deal not some spandex clad pervert

What’s the weight?

 

[Spymaster]

If cycling alone hasn't yet made you a big enough arsehole; buy one of these!!!

What’s the weight?

88kg.

 

[Crispy]

 

[8ball]

88kg.

Does it have a washing machine?

 

[TopCat]

88kg.

That’s a big adult equivalent. I think most remember the issues with giving a mate a ride.

As you mention though, combined with a decent e bike, this could really work. No tax, no number plate, no insurance and you could hog the middle of the road like all good caravaneers and annoy Spy.

I can see kids being tricky when one is akip. Robin Reliant turn overs.

How long has that bus been delayed?
