One of my favorite things about BOB Trailers is the proclivity of their use as the base for the odd if not bizarre modification.
Solar Power: Use your BOB to support a large solar array and run electical appliances wherever you go. Or use it to power the electric hub on your bike.
Electro Power: This BOB has been modified for use as an electric power assist for your bicycle. There is still plenty of room for extra gear.
Hydrogen Power (Weber Monoporter): Here is a very unique application of Hydrogen power. This bicycle is powered by hydrogen which is transported in the tank inside of the Weber Monoporter.
A BOB Toilet Bowl? While we are on the topic of utilities, carry your porcelain god with you wherever you go. Stores multiple toilet rolls for long tours.

I f there was a toilet on the back of my BOB, I just might yak. For sure, no one would want to ride in the pace line behind me. I guess that is one way to make sure you aren’t asked for any long pulls, huh?
I, too, have a soft spot in my heart for interesting and useful bike trailers. One of the best I have seen was pulled by Phil the Knife Sharpener….
Phil claims to have put 250,000 miles on the trailer over the last 18 years. Even if he is off by a factor of ten, I’m seriously impressed. I don’t know that I could get it going and, if I did, I’m pretty sure my brakes couldn’t get it stopped.
