While driving my bread truck down the highway I saw a rider decked-out in full cycling gear towing a
BOB YAK Bike Trailer (I think it was anyway,you could barely see it) with a small mattress draped over it.
Now thats camping in style!!
Maybe I should design a Hide-A-Bed for cyclist. Maybe Ti rails. Throw your stuff in the middle,fold it up and throw a tarp over it and your ready to roll! :D Anybody interested in one?

A matress would probably too much for me due to the weight, but I heard of a British guy who traveled around the world with a folding chair.
This is actually pretty important item, considering how much time you spend resting, and if it's in desolated area, you would have to sit on the ground which could be wet, have termites, stones, dust, etc...
Maybe the guy was just moving? :)

The guy was just moving...... I'm sure he's seen inflatable matresses.

I was hoping for someone to design a McDonald's french fry container that fits in my 3rd water bottle cage.

Sorry to try to bring this thread up a notch, but check out this site for tourers who don't want to tow a BOB.

No he was touring. May have been an air mattress,I don't know,but it was inflated then.
