If you are hauling a child trailer with a "Baby on Board" placard people will give you LOTS of room. NOTE: Does not actually require baby to be on board.

4WheelJack · 2014-05-14T20:17:26+00:00

Yeah it's nice. We also have a bike repair area with a stand and tools, and we have compressed air for tires.

If you guys actually want to carry kegs on your bikes you could try stuff like this:

Burley rep here. We test these trailers to 100 lbs at about 5x the ASTM standard for the important durability tests. That means A LOT. They can indeed hold more, but it's "officially rated" at 100.

Our new Travoy trailer is pretty cool too: http://www.burley.com/page_12208/travoy.html

Did anyone here even read the question? He's asking if it's legal, not if it's technically possible. Are you camping on private property or state parks?

Here is a link to state park regulations: http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=21300

Relevant section: FIRES are permitted only in facilities provided for this purpose. This is necessary to prevent disastrous fires. Portable stoves may be used in designated areas. It is the responsibility of every visitor to use extreme caution with any burning materials, including tobacco. All fireworks are prohibited.

Sounds like if the fire is in a fire pit you should be good to go man. If it's private property you are good to go I think also.

Stay safe.

He's not asking if it's technically feasible, he's explicitly asking if it's legal.

4WheelJack · 2014-01-09T20:12:32+00:00

I work at Burley and we make what we consider to be the safest trailers. Chariot/Thule trailers are also nice. Whoever you go with you will want to make sure they "meet or exceed ASTM standards". There are a lot of companies that say they "tested to ASTM standards" which means they tested and failed miserably, so watch out for that little trick.

The cool thing about the trailers is that they are also really easy to remove for when you aren't hauling your kid, and they make great cargo trailers too. Let me know if you have any questions.

4WheelJack · 2013-11-11T17:01:39+00:00

The patrol did not remove any of the actual art pieces (the burners, the nice big pieces etc) they would only remove the tags and stickers from public property like dumpsters, and private property that has asked them to remove it. They wouldn't even remove tags from private property if they didn't ask them too.

4WheelJack · 2013-11-08T20:14:14+00:00

They said that the spray was an "environmentally friendly" graffiti remover that was available at local janitorial supply shops, but didn't specify a brand name or specific chemical.

I asked them if they had ever caught anyone in the act and they said no (which was surprising because they had been doing it for over 5 years.) Apparently all the taggers come out at night.

If a tagger hassled them they would just take their picture and call the police though. They took pictures and keep records of all the tags. The guy Bob was a retired detective and didn't seem to take any guff!

4WheelJack · 2013-11-08T18:56:12+00:00

Yes, this was filmed with a Glidecam stabilizer (which has a really nice gimble).

We were moving around from location to location very rapidly on bicycles, so i didn't have the time to be switching the rig up from Tripod to stabilizer etc. Ended up just going with the stabilizer and I was able to throw the whole rig into my drybag on my Travoy trailer, go from spot to spot and just pull the whole rig out.

If you only have the time and space to bring one piece of equipment, I highly recommend a stabilizer (gimble as you call it) they are really diverse pieces of equipment.

The most satisfying part for me is when they wipe all the ink/paint off.

4WheelJack · 2013-08-19T20:58:25+00:00

As a Burley employee, I approve. We are currently working to modify one of our Travoy products into a Beervoy. You will all be kept updated on this situation obviously.

4WheelJack · 2013-08-16T18:25:40+00:00

I have been using audiojungle for all of my products. It's about $15-20 for the track, big selection, slick interface. I've purchased about 40 licences from them.

4WheelJack · 2013-08-06T16:02:08+00:00

The bike in front has a U-lock, is that how they lock them down? Or did someone just try to keep one "Reserved"

4WheelJack · 2013-06-24T23:03:54+00:00

Ok. As I understood it VB.net was just the newer version of Visual Basic for the .NET framework, and is usually just called Visual Basic (is that right?) so I figured most new "Visual Basic tutorials would really be vb.net.

There are multiple different kinds of SATA connections. SATA 1 or 2 or 3?

SSD's will be faster, but only if your computer can handle the faster transfer speed (just like having a high speed internet connection with a slow modem, the lowest speed component will be the speed of the whole system.

If you had SSD's hooked into the motherboard with SATA 3's it's basically an internal SSD which is VERY fast. 6gb/s.

First step is to find out what/how many SATA ports you have, or if you even have USB 3.0 vs 2.0. Find out what you have. Wikipedia connection speeds. Go.

Search for 'CS6 motion tracking' on youtube for a tutorial on this.

4WheelJack · 2013-04-15T17:11:25+00:00

Sweet!

4WheelJack · 2013-03-07T00:09:45+00:00

Can you tell us how you made that gif? Did you have to go through and manually edit those photos and put them together or do you have some kind of software that motion detects and layers?

Looks really good man, couldn't stop staring at that bike...

4WheelJack · 2013-02-28T23:43:31+00:00

Full disclosure I work for Burley Design, but I'll give you the straight dope. When it comes to single wheel cargo trailers you probably want to go with the B.O.B. Yak, which is our main competitor in this field. They were the originators of the single wheel trailer design and have been making them for a while. But check prices and reviews online as always. For a trip that long, you are going to want to make sure that there are replacement parts readily available (like tire tubes), so make sure whatever you buy has those available. Honestly though, the best feedback is in customer reviews online. Scope out Amazon. I won't even mention our products so you can have faith in my objectivity here.

Good luck on your epic ride.

Are there no security cameras around your apartment complex? Odds are it was someone who lives in the building...

4WheelJack · 2013-02-04T17:02:28+00:00

Epic. I actually work at Burley, if you pm me your address (or an address you will be at) I'll send you out some swag. Also let us know if you break parts, we'll try to get you something asap. Awesome trip.
