>>1774052yeah it was an expensive solution but my tourer got stolen and I wanted to drop some big bucks on a new one so it doesn't hurt so bad. It's a Harry vs. Larry Bullitt. I'm super happy with it. It makes for a great way to get around the city with the dog without having to deal with the stress of getting the train/tram where the dog is weirdo magnet. When it comes to touring, it has a rear rack which I can load up with two panniers and my tent on top. There are also extra bottle cage mounts which I can attach 2 anything cages to with some dry bags for toiletries, first aid kit, tools, and other misc stuff. I think that will be more than enough for short weekend getaways. I'll do a shake down ride soon and if all the gear + 25kg of dog is too much I think I'll have to start thinking about credit card touring.
