1,500+ miles and going strong....
Ever since we adopted Jackson Louie, some seven (7) years ago - our journey of Burley cycling began. In case you are scratching your head, why the two word "human" name for a dog? Well, his previous owners who was going to surrender him to the pound, named him "Louie" after France King Louie the 16th. It didn't quite fit him, being that he's well over 100 lbs at that time, I asked his previous owner if I could put a prefix in front of his name, and so "Jackson Louie" was reborn aka "JLo" for short!
Okay where was I again? Oh yes (got sidetracked), so I found out that Jackson Louie enjoyed the outdoors so much, especially water, he would get sad when he saw me head out to go cycling, I decided to take him along with me and so our Burley Bee trailer joined in the journey with us. Nathan, our little poodle mix also joins in the fun. He rides attached to my rear rack with a basket I converted as a dog holder.
I'm pleased to say that after years of using our Burley Bee trailer, and after putting more than 1,500 plus miles, I can confidently say, this trailer is going strong. It has withstand many terrain and weather. From rain to high winds, from mud to grass to concrete pavement, our Burley Bee trailer keeps on hauling. It's like the "Energizin Bunny," going, going, going.... hahaha! I've also cycled through off pavement road where there were plenty of gravel rocks during our nomadic weekend vanlife excursions, and the Burley Bee trailer held up very strong.
I think what I love most about our Burley Bee trailer is the super lightweight, very easy to fold down after each use. I did add a piece of wood to lay on the frame to hold Jackson Louie's weight. There is a trunk space towards the back where I use it to put my bike lock, dog water, treats, and extra blanket and towels for when we cycle towards the Bay waters. All in all, excellent bike trailer and if you're looking for a trailer that is well made, consider Burley.
