Thank you so much! I tried a recumbent bike, but it didn't work with the trailer, it needs to attach higher up if that makes any sense. I just can't find anywhere to hire one

Trailer attaches to the seatpost? I have only ever had trailers that attach at the rear axle as I have heard that they are more stable and handle better. With the quad that I have it might be that the cargo area at the back is big enough for your pig without need ing the trailer

I've had a google of the bike you describe, but they all look a little different. Do you think you could send me a picture? fullreachcharity@gmail.com

Thank you so much! I'll give them a go

Hello cyclers!!

I am a bit of a novice cycle-er and this summer I am going to be towing a very big piggy bank on a tricycle with trailer from Bristol To Brighton, I am raising money to set up my own Children's Home in Bristol. my last challange was I pushed a bed from John O'Groats to Lnds End, and next I hope to cycle my pig across america. I am looking for some advice from local cyclists on which routes will work/ while I ill have difficulty with, mainly due to the size of the pig. it is about 156cm wide. I am quite worried cycle tracks will be too narrow. I plan on going Bristol - Warnister - Salisbury -Eastleigh - Chichester - Brighton, over 5 days and then back over 5 days. This will be using the national cycle route 24, 23 and 2. Has anyone got any advice? I would love to speak to people who live locally to all these places who know if there are bollards or bike gates that would prevent me using cycle tracks and if you know a safe alternate route? I also don't want to clog up cycle tracks with my big pig and annoy other cyclists.

Thank you to anyone who can help
