On Friday, I towed my guitar to the Eastside Jewish Commons to teach music for a local day camp.
THIS was the purpose for which I'd sold my kiddie trailer and acquired a used Burley Travoy.
It worked like a dream.
Tying the guitar down was easy, using the gaps between the plastic backing and the aluminum frame to weave a couple of John's Irish straps (available from Rivendell Bicycle Works) and a really long strap left over from my Surly Big Dummy.
Next weekend, I have two gigs that will require me to bring the guitar, a mic stand, a vocal mic and a small amp with all the cords. I will probably just toss the mic and cords in my saddlebag, put the mini-amp up front in the basket and tow the guitar as shown here. I'll try and get photos to let you know how it all works out.
Happy riding!
Lot's of gear for such a compact looking trailer, well done!! LOL, I still use a old Burley Kiddie trailer that I stripped down, bolted on some steel bracing to the frame and attach are very large TUB with lid to!! It's a good FOOD and larger items hauler but quite large! Enjoy your gigs, wished I'd learned to play a guitar before I got old and full of arthritis! Happy Riding back at you! :)
