The spirit agrees, but the body can't tow my kids uphill without standing. When it's just me, I stay seated as a matter of principle (I've had it lowered to 21 or so gear-inches), but I simply can't do it when the trailer and children are back there--and walking the whole rig up is almost impossible at the steepest part.
That Rixen Kaul bottle cage adaptor sounds interesting. A cursory search didn't turn up any online dealers, but I'll come back to it after the kids are asleep--and look more closely at the Camping World gadget, too. Thanks.
