Extra Credit is video series that examines topics related to history in the Thunder Bay District and exploring that history.
This episode, the third in the Hiking n’ Biking sub-series, dives into my latest piece of biking equipment, which is a trailer. I bought this after an incident in July 2022 in which Luna’s paws were badly injured during a hike east of Geraldton (you can hear more about it in the link below). Going forward, I needed a way to take some of the stress off her paws on long hikes and also prevent her from over-exerting herself physically.
You’ll get a close up view of the collapsable trailer as I unfold it and attach it to my bike. I also relay my experiences using it with Luna, particularly the challenges of getting her to stay in it and towing a heavy dog behind my bike. I’ve only used it a half dozen times so far, but so far my impressions are positive and it seems to be working well.
Enjoy!
