This summer we tested a trailer made by B.O.B. known as YAK.
Description: |
The YAK is a one wheeled trailer that connects to a special skewer on your rear wheel. The trailer is made of Chromoly with a flat 25" X 16" cargo space. |

It's cool to say, "I pulled a YAK." You can tow up to 70 pounds. Great for carrying drinks and food on day trips. | Pulled nicely behind bicycle. The YAK sack kept cargo stable and away from the elements. Connected securely to special skewer. Easy to get on and off of bicycle. |
Dislikes: |
Don't try to pull 70 pounds! Train yourself to pull the YAK. You can not go as far or at the same pace you normally would go. | Didn't like needing the special skewer (did not fit one of our bicycles). Takes more energy than you think. |
Final Opinion: |
Great option on flatter bicycle trails. A nice alternative to carrying supplies on your back or in saddle bags when you go off-road. | I liked the YAK, especially the idea of carrying camping equipment. I look forward to using it more in the future. |
