"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!"

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.

Tony will custom-fabricate a boat trailer that suits your needs exactly. Contact him via the phone number or email address at the bottom of this page.

"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/

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