The group has a seriously kick-butt business plan. I hope there is a huge public liability insurance component built into it. The trouble with this is that the first wind gust of, oh, let's say, 15mph, is going to cause havoc with the van and the resultant mayhem for the rider. Getting passed by a semi-trailer will be interesting, to say the least.

I built a two-wheel trailer that was long enough for a person to lie down on, and it was lightweight (built mainly of aluminium security screen) so it could be towed behind a bike easily. It handled well in all conditions. The maximum load on it was made up of two large lounge chairs, and the boxes full of clothes (large carton) and books (smaller cartons) shown in the picture.

With a bit of effort I could have made it into a camp trailer with an easy-to-erect soft shell, and it sure would have carried all my camping supplies.

But then I'd have to ask myself the question: Why?

It would have been as much effort as putting up a tent, and more than putting up a hammock (if I was that way inclined). It would have just rearranged the effort to set up camp.
