It's long, but it works! (Photos: Shawne Martinez)We converted an old kid's bike trailer into a kayak hauling machine.As our soggy spring rain let up and the sun peeked from behind the clouds I began thinking about another kayak adventure on the Tualatin River. Transporting a kayak to the dock by bicycle from the county line between NE Tigard and SW Portland may seem like a difficult task with a twelve mile round trip and 600 feet of climbing.Make it a tandem kayak behind a bucket bike with a 6 year old riding in front and it gets even more interesting! We converted an old kid's bike trailer into a kayak hauling machine by lengthening the tongue and adding a bracket to hold the front of the boat to the tongue.
