One reason I prefer trains over planes…

@davidho My husband is unreasonably excited by any example of putting one form of transportation on another form of transportation. This reached perfection in his eyes when we went on a journey with folding kayaks and folding bikes each could be carried on the other. "We are unstoppable! We could circle the earth!"The folding kayaks were a cool idea but VERY heavy and needed a trailer to tow them. So... I was not as excited... but it still was a lot of fun. Anyway he loves this photo.

@futurebird @davidho OIK, but putting transport on other transport can look very cool!Some of my favorite examples are from the recovery of some old and abandoned Orient Express wagons, which were picked up by a crane and put on a ship for transport back home.(Of course, I'm having some issues finding the particular photo.)

@mahryekuh @futurebird @davidho I once went from Stockholm to Copenhagen by train before the Øresund bridge was built and they just rolled the train onto the ferry, sailed across and rolled off.

@Dewines He's not as into the trucks, but I think he'll still want to see this. :)

@futurebird @davidho One of the obsessions in the back of my head for the past few years: An ebike tow-able solar camper/micro-house boat with a minimal trailer assembly that packs onboard along with the bike.I think it's possible. I built a *road-bike* towable bike camper some years ago and lived out of it entirely for more than half a year.And yes, your husband would be happy that the bike was often stored inside the trailer. One day I'll build the amphibious version.

@stevenaleach @davidho He's not as inventive as you but we've been on some wild journeys.

@myrmepropagandist Wait, did the bike *trailer* also fit in the kayaks? How large were these kayaks? Photos?

@dynamic This is the one we used for our proper kayaks. The folding kayaks were just a notion and didn't work very well. You can pull TWO kayaks with just one bike. Link is to the part with one of the trailers we had. https://youtu.be/C5Xw2tgM2_c?t=78

@futurebird @davidho a friend of mine sometimes cycles with an inflatable boat on her bike to the next town up river, where there's a vegan doughnut shop she likes, buys a box of doughnuts, inflates the boat, straps the bike to it, and paddles back home snacking on doughnuts. I do not think I could do that trip but I'm impressed.

@dragonfrog @futurebird @davidho That is wonderful. It's like that puzzle about the farmer with a boat who has to get a fox, chicken, and bag of grain across a river.But your friend gets to be all the things and go all the places and eat the donuts too.
