Bike Trailers and Frogland

Is it my imagination, or did someone say recently that France doesn't
allow bike trailers?

I know this isn't much use to you, but aiui, bike trailers were in use
in le continong before the UK.

 

How about 'trailers towed behind bikes'?

Some people are like slinkys....
no real use but it makes you smile when they fall down stairs!

 

The latter, I'd expect.

 

IIRC that's Spain (or it was, dunno if it is now)

To be sure, I'd suggest dropping an e-mail to Watsonian Squire via
http://www.motorcycle-luggage-trailers.info/trailer_feedback.htm

 

I remember seeing a French registered trailer, that was a beer barrel
mounted on a solo wheel chassis, at Le Mans in the mid-1980s.

So it's your imagination, or your Alzheimer's.

Lovely.

Now all I have to do is persuade P&O to let me take the trailer on the
TOGTour without charging me any more.

I await my booking reference with bated breath.

Strap a small folding bicycle to the pillion seat.

Bicycles travel free on boats.

Then tie the trailer to it and get someone to pedal it into the ship.

You're weird.

Fucking good idea though. I'd need some way to encourage the volunteer.
I'll suspend a bottle of cheap beer from a fishing rod so it dangles
just over the front mudguard of the bicycle, that should do it.

Just bribe one of the cyclists waiting for the boat.

 

Wicked Uncle Nigel () gurgled happily, sounding
much like they were saying :

My ex-Frogland VeloSlowlex has a towbar.

 

I've done that, except the bottle of beer was a carrot being suspended
on a stick by my brother, who was sitting backwards on the back of my
dad's DT175MX, whilst dad rode it past me.

This wouldn't have been a problem were it not for the fact I was riding
my donkey[1] at the time. The ensuing carnage was worthy of a Thelwell
cartoon.

[1] No, that isn't a euphemism.

Er, that's bollox considering all the "remorques" that you can buy:

Ooops, I just thought about this. They're still allowed anyway
otherwise these wouldn't be sold here:

'sides, I wouldn't have thought that a UK registered bike would be
banned from French roads, just because it was towing a trailer.

 

LOL!

 

*Boggle*

 

I dunno. We banned right-hand sidecars for a while.... And you're not
llowed to tow a bike in France, are you, so I can't see that a UK reg
would work as a Get Out Of Jail Free card.

 

Err, you are allowed to tow bikes in France. They sell enough bike
trailers to suggest this is the case.

 

I read that as towing a bike directly, rather than towing a bike on a
trailer, iyswim. After all, in that case you'd be towing a trailer, not
a bike.
