I have a question for you ,I buy ,sell ,and refurb about 5 canoes a week throughout the summer ,and had a fellow from France that was cycling across Canada ask me to find him a trailer so he can haul one of my canoes to Quebec with him ,which is at least a 6-7 hour drive in a car through some very hilly terrain .I did some research and found him a trailer ,but he didn't get back to me until well after I had sold the particular canoe he was after .Was he as nuts as I think ,feeling that it's a good idea to be hauling a 40 lb 16 foot canoe down the Trans Canada highway on a bicycle ?I would think a short in town trip or a few mile highway trip might be doable ,but seriously 4-500 miles just seems insane ,let alone he will need to resell his new $2000.00 pride and joy in a very short time as well .
