It turned out to be a terrible idea. It's impossible to ride the bike straight despite my already good bike handling skills.
Perhaps doable on a cargo bike or with trailer as one our BF geniuses mentioned. Otherwise, going up a mild gradient with a heavily loaded bike on trailer might be a good idea for training.
funny about the welding rig.
I see parents hauling around their young kids in bicycle trailers and always think, now there’s a workout. But seldom do you seem them hill climbing. With the extra weight going down a 5%+ grade and stopping suddenly could be a little unnerving with kids, so duh. So put your battery there
