Taking a full-size fridge cycle camping

[horizon]

Our new fridge arrived today. It doesn't have a freezer and is a 50 cm under-counter version so not one of the biggest. Nevertheless it weighed in at 26.8 kg. I know this from a large yellow warning label on the box, which also required it to be lifted by two people - I certainly couldn't lift it on my own. But then it struck me that 26.8 kg is what I take cycle camping: 25 kg (measured on my last trip while away) plus food and water. So from now on I will need two people to carry my cycle camping gear. I'm not quite sure how that is going to work out.

Tony the fridge did Lejog with his.

Personally I would have paid the delivery fee.

Yes, the amazing thing is that you can, although doing it on two wheels is a lot easier. Even I was surprised when I realised that it would have been quite straightforward to transport the fridge on a large enough bike trailer. A fridge is a pretty good unit of measurement!

Does that includes the bike?

No, the bike (at 17 kg) is extra which means that carrying a fridge on a bike (with trailer) is actually quite easy, even up some hills.

I reckon after br*x*t the fridge as a unit of measurement would be very apt,after all we'll be frozen out,so using the standard British 12ths,fractions of a fridge could be good as good as it gets .
And we could well be moving everything around by bike,what with lack of well,err,practically everything including fridges and trade deals
