OK, so call me a wuss, but I'm having trouble loading my bike in my trailer by myself.
Bike is 350-400 lbs.
Trailer floor is pretty high, over 2 ft I think.
I build a quick and dirty ramp with a couple of 2x8s but it's not working out too great as it's pretty short and so rather steep. But that's all I have for now.
I can't push it in very easily, too heavy and too steep.
The main problem is that if I power the bike up while standing on the side and holding on to the handlebar it'll go in partway but I'm left behind with my feet on the ground and climbing in will destabilize everything and it'll keel over.
I could ride it on the trailer but the chances of hitting the front wall are pretty high and then I have the same problem (keeling over) trying to get it down.
Damn, how do these guys get bikes in pick up trucks...?
