Transporting Uni on a Bike?

You forgot to describe the bike you’re using. You can do a lot with some sort of rear rack, but a skinny-tire road bike might be more of a challenge.

With a trailer you can put multiple unicycles plus other stuff…

check out the beginning just to see the super awesome bike.

i have round handle bars, from a rqacing bike. So i just stick my seat post through the round part. IT takes a little finagling but it fits well.

Hi everyone,

I have about 5 kilometers from home to my Muni-trails, for which I made a Muni-rack to fit my bike.
An old Ortlieb bike bag donated what I needed to conect the rack, the rest were spare parts of wood and a few screws and straps.

Here is model number 2, which works realy fine for my needs :grinning:

If only we have a way to combine the bicycle and the unicycle into a tricycle…

I believe @jaco_flans had a better solution than a tricycle:

But, if you combine the custom fork from @jaco_flans with the SunSeeker Baja Trike, you might end up with an interesting uni-hauler. (This is actually a crazy idea I had for a use of the 24" Large Marge rim I recently acquired, after seeing the SunSeeker Baja on consignment at my LBS.)

So you could have a uni on the front fork, a smaller uni in the back, and plenty of food and water to last a day trip going between uni locations, trails for he front mounted uni and interesting features along the way for the small trial/flatland uni. That could definitely be a fun setup.

Oh, you are already into this. . .you already expressed interest in building a frame for Large Marge. You just didn’t know which direction I was gonna go. :smiley:

I figure if we (you) :smiley: are gonna get Large Marge set up in a Flansberrium frame, we might as well go all out so that she can overcome any obstacle (or plan for the day) thrown at her.

I see this as an “I’m going to ride TO the trails via the Baja, and ride the Gray Ghost/Large Marge ON the trails today. But, tomorrow, I may want to make the 3-mile round trip to the grocery store and I might want some exercise instead of driving the car. And, I might want to buy ice cream and milk while at the store. It’s 95 degrees F outside, so I’m going to need to take a small cooler/ice chest/insulated bag. No problem! I’ve got the Flansberrium Baja!” option.

“Gray Ghost” is the persona I plan to assign to the frame built for Large Marge. (Another Pee Wee Herman’s Great Adventure reference)

For anyone wondering what I am referencing, the following link will provide clarification/insight. :slight_smile:

Hi!
Here is my interpretation of ruka’s bicycle transport system:




I have adapted it for my 29er municycle, but the basic idea with the Ortlieb bike bag is the same. You can buy the mounting parts as spare parts on the Ortlieb homepage. I paid about 35 euros. The rest (screws, wood, etc.) I had at home in my workshop. The construction took about 2 hours. The system is super stable and works perfectly on my e-bike. Thank you ruka for this cool idea!

Looks like another nice Ruka Rack.

Very welcome! :grinning:

This thread and it’s photos, and photos that @toutestbon recently posted of his bike trailer that he used to transport items to/from the post office, got me thinking.

A quick search on FB Marketplace allowed me to find and purchase a bike trailer that can serve as a “unicycle trailer”.

I have used it to make runs to the grocery store, but haven’t yet used it to carry the unicycles to the closest Muni trails.

I can easily strap the unicycles to the trailer frame to keep them from moving, but I plan to create an additional frame/cradle out of PVC that will keep them from moving, using one strap to secure each seat post.

While the entire setup is not space-efficient in use, it can be efficiently stored.
