Has anyone any Ideas on how to transport a skywatcher 250p dobson

Hello

Has anyone got experience or ideas of transporting a dobson scope and its base via bicycle . I have thought of  cycle trailers . Could anyone recommend a good one, or an alternative mode of transport .   I have a great dark sky site about a half mile away. I dont drive  so my only option is a bicycle . Thanks for any ideas.

I'm not sure how you would move it by bicycle other than a trailer, but you become good at Collimation...i doubt the trailers will be cheap.....

A sack truck and could you walk it.

Seems a practical idea .

Now that's a good idea....i brought a sturdy one from machine mart, has 10" rubber tyres, quite smooth when moving....
