Well look at what they do in vietnam and then what i'm doing seems downright safe. >_>
I'm mostly interested in seeing how far limits can reasonably be pushed, assuming changes in driving technique (if more rear braking required under load due to a different weight balance, that's fine, etc) and experimentation. If it only pulls 200lbs thats all it pulls. If it only pulls 100lbs i'll be surprised because my kid's tricycle pulls 100lbs, but whatever. >_< There has to at least be SOME useful trailering load even on the lower powered bikes and even the sportier bikes, some way to enhance what it will carry without having to go into a backpack (where i'm sure the up high weight will be alot LESS safe in a frame pack even if it's only 50lbs) or strapped over the rear part of the seat behind me. It's possible that a bigger bike is just plain needed to do anything useful - i'm considering anything up to a 650 (for fun as well) after which no mileage improvement is possible. I'd like to know how much I can stretch each size of bike for moving stuff now, before i've gotten a bike, but the backup position is still probably just "get a geo metro" in the end.
