    A loss of footing or loosing your grip on the handle could be catastrophic.
    The videos of three kids on the single wheel terrify me as a parent! Ditto as a ULF owner!

    Maybe if two of those were connected to make a two wheel-barrow? A good bicycle shop could do it. Shouldn't be too hard to DIY the Joining either. 'Course the cost would be at least double.

    There are only three types of mounting flanges; too big, too small and wrong thread!

    Two wheels would be much better than this. Stability, ease of use with less strain (imo) etc..

    I have this for yard work but plan to make something similar with two 24" bicycle wheels and expect it to look fugly when I'm done . The Lee Valley cart collapses which is great for saving space.

    Based on the cost of bicycles, It seems overpriced. I also think those kids in the pics and vids should be walking instead of joyriding except maybe the really small ones. Also, I'm not really sure I could push a 200 lb dear carcass very far on this anywhere besides a sidewalk.

    Lee Valley makes or sells great stuff.

    That 33lb cart can carry 330 lbs and is USA made. Impressive.

    I am using https://www.radicaldesign.com/bicycl...-iv-cargo.html but it is far lighter construction. Made who knows where, but EU designed and I bought mine during a winter sale 2 years ago. About 1/2 price.

    I hauled 90 lbs of LF paper and film a few miles, which was far enough for me. Mostly I use it for light shopping and short LF city exploration. Best with no more than 50 lbs for this old man. It stores flat anywhere and the wheels are high grade QR.

    Looks good Randy. The big wheels and platform make it really functional.

    So you use it with a bicycle then? What about walking—ccan youu pull it along a pedestrian pathway?

    Will it fold up for transport and storage?

    I primarily use with a big cheap plastic box zip tied to the frame. I don't use the fabric platform. It has quick release wheels that have 2 positions. One at rear for walking it like hand cart and the other centered for bike towing. Hitch is very fast to connect. I bungee heavy tripods to the top of the box. Great for around town. I put a flag and flashing taillight on it also. Tows smoothly.

    Hanging around the Darkroom waiting for better weather. Yes I am a fair weather shooter. That is not the tow bicycle. It's my high efficiency collectable, last of the USA Schwinns. Fair weather only.
