does breathing count?

I hike and camp. Haven't combined either with biking yet, but hope to do so next summer. I mainly camp with my sister (who isn't a cyclist) or my Girl Guide group (when I have to haul so much stuff it isn't even funny. Maybe when I get teh Xtracycle though!).

CommuterRun, that is an excellent set up for the canoe ...

OP, I too enjoy the outdoors (hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, and if you want to count it ... farm work). I combine the first three with cycling when ever i do them. Carrying the equipment (especially a gun) can be tricky. one option can be found here: https://www.texaselectricbikes.com/ca...rack-p-83.html.

anyway, good luck.

Thanks, it's a Wike Woody Wagon with the optional alloy wheels.

I use a Burley Flatbed to carry a rifle or shotgun when I'm not taking a canoe or kayak.



I don't have a photo with one of them loaded on the trailer, but one will fit, butt forward, top of the receiver down, letting the muzzle hang over the rear of the trailer, between the cooler and the side rail. Best to use a scope cover to keep road grime off the lenses.

Oh yeah, I'm just getting into hunting and I want to get into trap, skeet and maybe sporting clays soon too (soon as I get enough money for the shotgun I want).

I would love to get into trap shooting myself… the conservation club I belong to has a beautiful Trap range, but it is just a matter of buying/affording a nice shotgun, and finding the time to practice… Anyone that thinks Road Cycling is expensive… should price some of the better Trap shotguns.

I'm saving up for a Franchi Renaissance Classic, 20 Gauge with 28" barrels.

Thanks for the link CommuterRun ... i might just have to pick up one of those.

Your welcome. Before buying that one, I suggest doing a search and looking at some of the others on the market. There might be a different design you like better. The main selling point for me on the Woody Wagon was that it's modular, and breaks down into small enough pieces to fit in the optional pack so that you can take it with you. The down side to this, I have discovered, it that it's so modular there's no good way to lock to something, so that you don't have to break it down and pack it along on every trip.

Hiking, backpacking, canoeing, whitewater kayaking, snowboarding, trail running. I've been known to go fishing every now and then. I enjoy it but I don't consider myself a fisherman.

This is truly a downside. With my kayak trailer all parts of the frame break loose with just one standard hex key. Add a small adjustable spanner, and you'll have the wheels too. After having my seat post and Brooks saddle stolen in broad daylight, I feel a bit uncomfortable leaving bike and trailer behind when I go paddling, sometimes for a whole weekend.
