Travoy - Bike Shop & More.....

Thanks to Burley for letting me use Travoy Cargo Trailer in NYC.
We've used it to messenger,go shopping and just haul stuff around.

If you live in an Urban Center, Its a no brainier.The bags that it comes with have a system that allows them to clamp on and were a big hit with everyone we showed them to!

BTW....
Travoy folds,the wheels pop off and it fits into its own little bag!

Just before they released it I was trying to find a bicycle trailer that I could load up and simply detach from my bike and walk right into a freight elevator with the load! It becomes a real time-saver for larger deliveries in NYC!

I've used other trailers in the past like The BOB.
BOB  works well as far as hauling but just can't be used off the bike because its a one wheel trailer and flops side to side!


The Travoy is not really bent ready but I managed to secure the mount down to my rack solid enough to actually use it!

 Please produce a mount for recumbents with racks!

Hope someone hears me!

Having the style seat I have on my Easy Racers Gold Rush allows a hell of a lot of baggage.

I can hang two large shopping bags right off the top of the seat! 

Imagine how much I could fit by adding the Travoy!

 That's two 25lb bags of groceries hangin off my seat!

If you have light weight wheels don't try this  - OK!

My wife had a super light wheel - every time she went shopping ....

A spoke Popped!

Up the Ladder...... 

 W0W! 

I thought I was good look at this guy! 

I ran into Nachum in the street one day ,we just stared at each others bikes for a few minutes in total silence

 hi shelly-

this is me taking a 16' ladder from greenpoint to pier 40 to be recycled into an oar rack for the village community boathouse (free rowing tues & thurs @ 5:30; sun @ 12:30).  total length of rig = 25'.  only added 8 minutes to my commute once hooked up!

 My good Friend Aimee has been using the Burley Travoy for a couple of weeks. It's not gonna be easy to get back!


Thank you so much for letting me try out your Travoy Cargo Trailer. 

 Going Shopping

 Tribeca NYC

I really don't want to give it back and would buy it any cost its that good.  I have been using it to visit my clients (I deep clean, reorganize) and I can fit everything I possibly need (including vacuum) in one of the various bags.  Also, I use it to buy groceries and it really does hold about 4 big bags of food.  Such a time saver as before I would make multiple trips on my bike but now I can do one stop shopping and simply unpack in the apartment (I love that you can use the kickstand for it to stand upright).  It fits easily in my closet and that is important as like most New Yorkers space is very much an issue.

 Curious Customer in Whole Foods

I also attach it to my bike even if I don't plan on getting anything because often its those random things I see that I covet the most.  Now I can stop and buy anything as I peddle around this great city of Manhattan.  People stop me all the time to ask about it and I show them how easy it is to attach/detach, how light, how little space it takes up and they are impressed.  It really sells itself.  Hoping I can borrow it this summer to take on a camping trip to Martha's Vineyard (to carry my tent, cloths all my supplies).  Thanks again for introducing me to this great product.

Special Cyclist Recumbent Trike and Burley Nomad!

Not a lot happening in the New York City besides riding back and forth to work on the bikeway.

Winter has really set in. There are some bicycle commuters that I see everyday,no matter how cold or how windy!

We give each other that little nod of acknowledgement and smile as we pass in the freezing cold and high winds. I can't help but wonder,

Do they wonder who I am? 

Do they wonder about each other?

I wonder if they'd be interested in finding out about each other?

I think I should try to find out!

Wonder what keeps them going?

Really liked this story so I passed it on to you.....

Hemet man bikes to help self, others

Special to The Press-Enterprise

After he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in November 1995, Jim Wetherell plunged into a deep depression that no therapist or medication could combat.

While the diagnosis was not a death sentence, it was an end of life as Wetherell knew it. He had to give up his job as a tour bus driver. His relationship with his wife fell apart. So he moved from San Francisco to Hemet.

To help with the anxiety caused from the disease, he started riding a recumbent two-wheeled bicycle. He soon switched to a three-wheeled version.

"I thought I could deal with some of the stress by pedaling it away," said Wetherell, 66. After a while, one of his biking buddies asked him where his tremor went. That is when he realized that cycling had more benefits that he knew.

In 2001 he started a Web site to offer information, support and inspiration to patients and caregivers: www.inevergiveup.org.

"I wanted a name people would remember," he said about choosing the nickname "Parky" as he set out to "take the park out of Parkinson's."

Jim Wetherell took the nickname "Parky" in his fight against Parkinson's disease. One of the ways he deals with stress is riding his recumbent tricycle, maintaining a regimen of 20 miles a day. In May, he hit the 50,000-mile mark.
