I’ve been wondering how it might be possible to bring my 70-pound German Shepherd Dog along on a loaded tour. Strapping the crate to a flatbed trailer seems to be the most practical idea in this thread but I’ve thought about trying to build a trailer around a sturdy dog crate – so that the crate can act as both the structural frame and the carrier for dog.
I found a Cannondale child trailer that a neighbor discarded (only the fabric was torn – it’s ok otherwise.) I thought of using some of the components from that trailer as a starting point.
I have seen the trailers on the wicycle.com site. They look like they would last about 10 seconds with my dog inside if she saw a cat by the side of the road.
