Take your time with the builds. I'll still be here, insh'allah. Loved this vid. Remove the front wheel to raise the rear? Really genius level thinking out of the box there. Zero cost solution to roadside flat fixes, etc.

I use my elephant bike as my bike tow vehicle. I used rubber lined P clips / hose clamps to secure the QR mount to the rack. Definitely more secure than zip ties!

Going to root around in the garage later for a spare quick release skewer to do this on a normal bike for when it's not worth driving the van a few minutes away

U bolts are the solution to secure it instead of zip ties though.

On testing this I can't see it holding up well. I secured a similar clamp with p clips to test it before sourcing u bolts and the racks can't handle the strain for very long if they're not rated for much.

You have a beautiful wheel and a beautiful family. I love that comment about knowing when to stop. I write legal briefs all day, most days. It’s the same issue. At some point, you must stop agonizing over tone and specific words and simply move on. As a professor once told me, writing projects are never done; but at some point, they are abandoned.

These trendy bike racks that just attach on 2 points look nice but if you attached another tube or angled aluminium from the front of the rack to the seat stem, seat clamp or seat post, you'll substantially increase its regidity and support strength.

Loving the new setup :) I tow bikes in the same way using a rear rack. Pro tip: use a bungee cord wrapped tautly around the downtube of the bike you're towing, with both hooks attached to your rack on the cargo. This stops the rear of the towed bike from wandering left to right when you're making turns.

Can use a pair of hose clamps in place of zip ties.. :)

When I collect bikes I have an animal trailer. Dog trailer. Two wheels. It hauls great acward but does the Job. I actually used it as well to help build trails bring tools. Chain saws to shovels even loaded the thing up with wood. I know there is a limit to it but I got it free so it was even better. I’m still using it. Now planning to add metal sides to it because the cloth is old plan to box it. And add things to bungy up.
