Being a weirdo myself, I looked through his timeline (!) and it looks like he tours with his partner but she doesn't pull her own trailer :shock:

When I was cycling down Highway 101 a few years ago, I met a guy who was touring with his cat!

what amazes me the most about the original pic, is that even with two trailers, he still had to mount two big FULL panniers on the front of his bike. What the bloody hell is he carrying?! People go round the world with a 1/3 of what he has there!

I assumed the front panniers were just carrying bricks for ballast

Actually not a bad idea, didn't think of that! Bet it still pops wheelies like a motocross bike. Just noticed, he's in the biggest cog whilst pulling all that. Bet he has some right legs on him!
