NEWS FLASH!     FREIGHT TO LONDON $130 Can.

Thanks to Willi Mayrhofer who recently flew in from Austria to pick up his Trayak-There are some of his blogs postings on WestCoastPaddler.com -I discovered that Canada Post has surface delivery of these Trayaks to a lot of countries. It takes about 5 weeks but seems to be roughly a third of the price of air shipments. Willi is paying $120Can to ship his back to Austria (while he rides down the West Coast to San Fransisco). I got a quote for $130 to London England. And pretty good air prices to --say Australia-$360.

The Trayak

Now celebrating 8 years on the roads!

A serious trailer to carry the boat(s) of your choice wherever in the world you are or want to go, from Finland to Florida -from Scotland to Syria, through Europe and Asia, from the Yukon and all across Canada and North America these trailers have proved their worth, whether it’s a short trip to the launch site or a monumental trip of 6,ooo miles-the latter epic towing 250Lbs of boat and gear. Carrying one boat or up to three, these trailers can handle it all!

If you are serious, there is no comparison and really no other choice!

Did you ever imagine you could pull your kayak by bike? Now you can. The base model carries one kayak. The double-decker option allows you to carry two.......or more.

Yes -John Caspersen with his "Triple Whammy" transits downtown Toronto with aplomb to reach his favorite destination!


"Tony, I just wanted to let you know that the trailer arrived just in time for the maiden voyage, and that the trailer worked great as a triple decker (I haven't tried if full length yet). I certainly got a lot of funny looks biking through downtown Toronto!"


Julie and Colin Angus, renowned world adventurerers, are shown on the shakedown cruise -so to speak-for their latest adventure which consists of rowing and riding from Northern Scotland to Syria in the middle East. Only 6,000 Kilometers!. They have crossed the English Channel! (May 5th. 2008) Follow this intrepid pair as they make more cycling history. Click here for details of the latest in human-powered transportation! Now you can take it with you! Julie and Colin were recently featured in the Globe and Mail article 13 countries, 7,000 kilometres and four oars.

NEWS FLASH!! Colin and Julie Angus Book Tour!

Here's a chance to meet this incredible couple Colin and Julie Angus and be highly entertained at the same time-either by reading their book and/or going to their Book Tour stop nearest you. See the list of dates and places it's too good to miss-after all where else can you be entertained and inspired at the same time?. It is great to have been a part (vicariously) of their adventure and gratifying that the surviving trailer is going right along with them (The other one was stolen in Northern France). It will be up front and centre at each stop on the tour, with one of their rowboats strapped on-just like during the 7,000 Kilometer trip they made together. Here's your chance to get a good look at the boats which are now available, and of course my trailer. It's all too good to miss!

"Just got my kayak trailer from Tony, excellent stuff, Tony is a great guy, i can highly recommend his products and the service is outstanding!"

Kayaking is a popular sport in British Columbia, where Tony's Trailers are built. So it was just a matter of time before customers began asking Tony if he could provide the ultimate human-powered travel experience: land and water via a kayak bicycle trailer. (And yes, we all know what's next--but parasailing bicycle trailers will have to wait until next year...)

Tony checked the market to see what trailers existed for pulling a kayak by bike. Finding none, he developed a kayak-pulling design — the Trayak ™. The current design is generations ahead of its rivals that have since come on the marketplace.

Tony's Trayak ™ kayak bicycle trailers incorporate a number of advantages. Among these is the fact that by utilizing the innate strength of the kayak(s) being pulled, the trailer can be feather-light while the entire package is stable and solid. In engineer-speak, this approach is known as "stressed-member" construction. It's used in aircraft, sailboats, and now—bicycle trailers!

These bicycle trailers are designed to carry kayaks, canoes and even dinghies, to your beach of choice. Load and unload from the trailer, and when the trip is over you get home to a ready-made storage rack, ready to go for the next outing. Ongoing development based on research and user feedback has resulted in a very versatile, very strong trailer.

HEAVY DUTY CARGO PLATFORM

This larger platform, about 26 X 18 inches, is only available when you also have the adjustable-width rear axle option, You'll notice the trailer chassis is extended to make an attachment point for the rear of the platform-adding to it's strength. The plywood option is shown in one picture, with the plywood cut around the foam block. This way the foam can be removed or stay in place depending on the type of load carried, e.g.., it can stay when you are hauling the Kayak. The price for the HD Platform option is $US 140.00 For the plywood option prices click here.

"Bringing together two nonmotorized modes: bicycling by land, and kayaking by sea. Bicycle Alliance staffer Mark Canizaro, Chris King (Mr. Bypedal) and I collectively bought this beautiful semi-custom seakayak trailer made by Tony of Tony's Trailers in Victoria (on Vancouver Island). Tony was the last-place finisher in the Tour de France 50 years ago, and makes an excellent, superbly thought-through kayak trailer, besides being a really nice guy. As Mark and I assembled and test-rode it, we were impressed by the little, thoughtful features. And it rides great! Tracks amazingly smoothly, circles fairly tight (goes easily around Seattle's ubiquitous mini-circles, and feels only modestly heavy with a boat on it! See more fun photos here and here. Bringing together two peacable, local, noiseless, mitochondrial-combustion-engine activities into one seamless pair." From http://bypedal.typepad.com/

"It's more difficult to attach a reliable towing mechanism to a closed top kayak (without making permanent modifications to the bow), hence the need for a "real" trailer. My trailer is from Tony Hoar (http://www.tonystrailers.com/) in Canada. After a couple of summers' worth of test rides of varying distances (from 3 to 110 kms) I can say it works well. The idea of towing a canoe/kayak with a bike is definitely feasible.--J" from Juha, Helsinki Finland.

Also available are cargo bicycle trailers, bicycle trailers for the disabled, dog trailers and trailers for carrying groceries and other items by bike.
