So what was that all about? Well, I figured a few issues when riding with the trailer.
Yes, it adds some weight which means in uphills I need to kick in the pedals even harder.
The handling is more difficult with the heavy tail load, for parking I need trailer skills ;)
The sidestand barely holds the load. The brakes are getting very hot and I need to brake at almost every downhill. I put all in one bag, which means if I need something, I will need to open this entire package.
Therefore my new set-up looks like this:
I also downsized a bit like I left my work- reading glasses at home as well my flip-flops, a wooden spoon and a package of rice (Skippy thaught me that rice should first soak for a few hours before cookking. That makes it a bit difficult, and my cooker is a bit on/off so likely the rice would burnπ±).
I also added the third bottle holder as there was already a ready- made hole but without thread, so needed to cut one first and for that I needed to buy one firstπππ.
I can ensure to whomever wants to use a trailer, do only so if you must, have no other options or want to get more attention ππ...
Plan B1 was the Skippy would come with the bags and the lowrider and we would meet somewhere - too complicated π
Plan B2 looked like that: ride from Parainen to Kaarina, take the bus home, do all the work and continue next dayππ
And so it happened. Lappi here I come
