In last Friday’s cargo bike discussion, Ted Johnson of the Bike Trailer Blog let me know about the Burley Travoy, a totable bike trailer than can carry up to 60 pounds.

I realize now that several bike and outdoor blogs have already mentioned the Burley Travoy.

Like Bike Hugger points out, the Travoy looks a lot like the handtrucks and golf bags we’ve seen people pull on their bikes. The Travoy takes that idea a step up by making it foldable and collapsible so you can use it like a backpack or pull it along like rolling luggage.

Unlike other bike trailers, Burley’s 10 lb “Urban Trailer System” is still useful independent of the bike. Attached to the bike via a seatpost hitch, the Travoy can tote 60 pounds of stuff from market to home.
