Kinda sketchy but I made it

This will become a box for that very trailer.

Felt pretty wobbly with 80 lbs on the rear and 2 full panniers on the front, but we got r home safe.

I completely get the hype about East Bush Lake. The water clarity is insane, albeit, you'll be seeing and feeling the seaweed versus just feeling them at Cedar Lake. On my ride home, there was a biker riding in the opposite direction also hauling his paddle board. Bonus: saw a scooter rider scootering home a TREE. Y'all are some real micro-mobility homies!

but it’s honest work.

Bringing home the bacon with this one bungee cord trick!

Hey folks,

My name is Eric aka dj dev out of minneapolis. Been a long time drum and bass DJ here, and in the last few years I've built out this mobile rig for bike dance parties. I've got a huge battery, Pioneer XDJ-AZ, 2 Mackie speakers and a mackie sub running this. We organize large group rides, get a few local known DJs to join us, and make bicycle-based dance parties happen here.

Multiple iterations of hardware between devices and bikes/trailer support have been through this ringer here to arrive where we are today. Last year I replaced an older all-in-one pioneer controller with the AZ, this year we are making improvements to the trailer roof and lighting, to allow for more lights and maybe some other items. The trailer is a Carla Cargo trailer, and we usually use some kind of ebike to pull this, from Perennial Cycle in uptown.

In the warmer months we do multiple parties a month, usually ranging from 50 people to around 200. Last night we had our first "private" event, for a conference in town, and had over 100 folks from out of town attending.

Hope to see you on the bike dance floor soon!

Picked up a friend so he could come to the Friday Bike Bus. We live in a hilly area, so I carry their bikes until we get to the flat area, then they ride the rest of the way to school. Bike is a 1st Gen Aventon Abound.

I commute 5.3 miles to work, and 5.3 back. I work in a cabinet shop that has an abundance of wood scraps. I also have a woodstove. It’s a great mix and I pay very little to heat my home. Today, i made the first step to bringing home fuel with a bicycle.

Oh and I chose the rainiest day of May in Rhode Island to do this…

Trailer was from Lowe’s (275lbs load capacity, yes Lowe’s sells bicycle trailers!) Bike is from 2004 (Gary Fisher Marlin-Genesis, repainted and modified with drops). Panniers and stuff from the internet. Total weight with wood, trailer, bike, rider…. Somewhere in the 350-400lbs range.

yes I could see

Le Petit porteur and bullitt for the win 🥇 Perfect for a scavenger hunt and staying mobile with the small explorers 🧭

Not that bulky but feels quite heavy for my first large load.

Felt very close to my tire

I'm with you brothers. Keep your stick on the ice.
