You bet, Patrick. I'm new at this so from when I arrive at the river to
launching the boat is about 30 minutes. Same with the deflation and pack
up. As I become more practiced this time may shrink, but I'm never really
in much of a hurry.
Cheers, John

Hey Takashi, Yes, indeed, it's a lovely way to travel. Very serene for the
most part. I would have enjoyed this boat when I road along the Nyodo River
on Shikoku.
Cheers, John

Hey Robert, I remember seeing this once upon a time. Perhaps it's where the
seed of my idea to get my bike in a boat came from. Very cool, indeed!
Hey Patrick, It's hard to say. The Alpackaraft may be a little more
particular about where the bike is placed, but time from arrival to launch
is
Tom Lutz seems to have accommodated himself and his Brompton to the mass of
his Fliptail. I'd guess that with the wheels (or is it a minimalist
trailer?) and flat terrain that even a weighty boat is less of a problem
than, say, the inflatable 2-person kayaks that my next door neighbors have
(fun
That’s a fliptail: https://duckworks.com/fliptail-7-plans-pdf/
I built its ancestor the origami from the same designer about six years ago
to be a compact tender for the boat we were living aboard. It turned out
very heavy so we never used it, preferring our inflatable kayaks.
The fliptail is
Wow, John, that looks like a lot of fun. Looking at beautiful scenery from
the river must be a very different experience from cycling.
I too am looking forward to seeing more of your photos!

Hey Wes, I'll look forward to seeing photos of that! I'm confused about
your swap- you want country gravel or I80?
Hey Michael, Urban NYC must require a whole different set of skills than
cruising around the desert on trails or rivers. Here's a link to a GaiaGPS
track with a few more photos
That looks incredible. More pictures and details please! It's the exact
opposite of my normal bike rides (urban NYC).

I’ve got a slow-developing project to create a bike raft out of a $40
“inflatable camp lounger”. If I can raft 30 feet across an irrigation
ditch, I can swap gravel country roads for 12 miles of commuting alongside
interstate 80. I’ll let you know if it works.

Got it; again, sounds very interesting. I see that Alpacka boats retail
basically for the price of an entry-level Clem.
I should probably buy an entry level Clem first, though.

Hello Patrick. No trailer needed as, you guessed it, the raft rolls into a
tidy little 5lb burrito and fits very nicely on the rack. In addition to
the photos of the raft with the bike, I should have taken a photo of the
bike with the raft on it!

John, I am curious to know how this craft behaves if there is no bike in
the bow. Did you give that a try?
Also, do you secure the bike in the bow, or if you capsize would it sink to
the bottom of the waterway?
