Got a Burley Travoy
Sold my car almost one year ago and I have just missed it a little when I needed to carry big things that does not fit in my backpack or panniers. So I bought a Burley Travoy, since I saw it I loved how convenient it looks. Now I need more excusses to use it more frecuently.

The travoy is a sweet little trailer, I think I have 1500 miles on mine now. I always have to put the hitch up really high on the seatpost to keep my legs from hitting it, have you had that problem?

I don't have that problem, my Travoy is the 2020 version and the tube that connects to the bike extends a little, maybe that solved the problem.

Awesome! Is there a way to lock it to the frame? Probably not too enticing, but I'd be worried about locking it up outside a store for too long.

Prefers Cicero
When we were teenagers. my brother and I sometimes towed golf clubs to a local public course with our bikes, and this reminds me of the golf club trolleys.

I love mine. No car for 2 years, and it does my Costco runs, my regular TJ shops, takes huge packages to UPS/Fedex, and takes my guitar in case to lessons. It's also great as a walking hand cart to and from stores if you're close enough.

I have been using a Travoy for years. Occasional flat due to goathead thorns ;-(

Questions on best usage
So for the new users of the Travoy...what has been the best add-ons. I just got the marketplace bag...but do you pull a cooler for the store? Extend the dolly area on the bottom to accommodate more stuff? Use a small tap to cover things you're hauling when it rains?
Curious....as I'm getting ready to restart using mine.

hugorodrigo23 That big box seems to have almost all it's weight on the lower corner. Isn't it pressing on the PVC sheet/cover at the bottom? Is that a concern? Prone to puncture/tears?
Those with years of Travoy usage how has it worn down? Burley's website only list repair patch/tape.
