Where?

is this the pig thing posted in 'does anyone know'? I replied to that with the offer of a recumbent quadricycle cargo carrier - based in Southampton. Otherwise have you tried posting on the British Human Power Club? google BHPC. ICE trikes could also be worth contacting.

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

Bristol Bike Project? Boneshaker Magasine? Roll for the Soul? They could all be good contacts in Bristol. All think out the box. Boneshaker guys would be very interested in your ride probably [emoji6]

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

It's a very big piggy bank.

Yeah, Rosie sent me a picture after I got in touch by e-mail with a picture of my 'bent quad. It's certainly going to get noticed.
