As if it's not bad enough to have bicycles on the narrow backroads, now they will be peddling 2 abreast with these camper trailers intow.

Just what the push bike riders in the top end of Oz need.  It would be very cosy of an evening sleeping in 33 degree humidity.

Lol. Given most cyclists spend thousands of dollars on carbon fibre to make their bikes a few hundred grams lighter, I can't imagine to many tieing a trailer to the back...

Hahaha. I was flicking through the pics and had visions of someone huddled around one of those hexi tab cooking things on a cold night....... Then thoughts of the Chinese lanterns with the candles floating through the air. ;D

He is a recumbent user. In NO WAY should anyone confuse him with being a cyclist. They are weird people.

So all in - approx 100lbs...   so that's about 50kgs, right?

Who would want to drag that weight around....   and where's the spare; and I hope all that plastic is not highly flammable. .....
