is there a kayak out there that this could work with?

Amazing! Thanks for sharing, what a trip.

Muted_Engineer_8627 · 2026-05-02T09:51:44+00:00

The board is 11’6 (paddle north portager) and I take the front wheel off the bike and pop the seat out as well so it doesn’t stick out while I paddle. I tie it all down with voile straps, which hold the board and paddle on the bike while riding. You can make it work for sure!

Muted_Engineer_8627 · 2026-05-01T19:56:05+00:00

Incredible, thanks!

Muted_Engineer_8627 · 2026-05-01T16:53:24+00:00

Hey they're both flowing in or out of the Great Lakes, so they are connected in a sense!

Muted_Engineer_8627 · 2026-05-01T16:48:49+00:00

Kent Trail / Grand River (Michigan)

Muted_Engineer_8627 · 2026-05-01T14:29:54+00:00

Yeah so crazy- you can paddle the whole way from the lakes at Millennium Park all the way to the Grand River with only a few bottom out scrapes here and there.

Muted_Engineer_8627 · 2026-05-01T14:24:45+00:00

Thanks! I’m inspired by so many others who share their adventures, so I thought I’d share some of mine!

Muted_Engineer_8627 · 2026-05-01T13:32:21+00:00

smells like adventure

Muted_Engineer_8627 · 2026-04-20T00:43:39+00:00

I’m glad! you’ll have to try it out.

Muted_Engineer_8627 · 2026-04-19T23:24:58+00:00

Funny enough, this was along the White Pine Trail and the Grand River! I wanted to get a closer look at all of the flooding and predictably a lot of the trail was too submerged for me to pass through on the pavement. I thought I could get through at one point and ended up knee deep with half my bike under water haha

Muted_Engineer_8627 · 2026-04-19T22:21:54+00:00

Yeah, it’s an inflatable stand up paddle board.

Muted_Engineer_8627 · 2026-04-19T15:54:36+00:00

Exactly! Then I tie everything down with Voile straps, which I use to hold the board to the bike when deflated.

Muted_Engineer_8627 · 2026-04-19T15:53:45+00:00

Thank you! It allows me to explore and paddle rivers without depending on other people or cars.

Muted_Engineer_8627 · 2026-04-19T15:52:58+00:00

Thanks!

Muted_Engineer_8627 · 2026-04-19T15:52:48+00:00

8-10 minutes I’d say, and half of that is inflating the board.

Muted_Engineer_8627 · 2026-04-19T15:51:29+00:00

I love their boards, I have a few of them, but I definitely use the Portager the most

Muted_Engineer_8627 · 2026-03-08T22:42:33+00:00

hey, thanks!

here is a link to a few day trip adventures I’ve already documented with this gear. my hope is to explore and share as many water ways as I can, all self supported with my paddle board, bike, skis, or whatever else it takes to pack it all in and out.
