Please trust me on this---you will live to rue the day if you go with a single speed. While the service road is generally flat, there are some inclines that you will feel if you can't change speeds, and when you're pedaling against the wind--and the Canal is usually windy--you'll work your arse off, especially carrying that much weight.

Great Idea MIKEP hadn't thought of a trailer !
i can lift 560 lbs with my calf muscles in a gym sitting on
a leg machine.... so it should be no problem ! |

Somebody must, because I've seen quite a few on the Canal---unless they're all home made. |

I don't believe so, but with a customized (lockable) top i'd have a portable bench
for making coffee,cooking or doing countless other Jobs on the fly. |
