    Upcoming 2025 ORBO/SWBO - who’s in?

    Even though my wife says I have enough bikes, I still consider myself a proud member of the n+1 bicycles club. So I'll probably throw my hat (or a bike) into the ring for another skinny wheeled build...🚲 I still have a fitting frame and wheels for it, so why not... 🤷

    Versatile cargo Trailer

    I will need to fabricate a new set of fenders. The trailer got new shoes and those are a bit larger then the old ones and don't fit into the fenders anymore. But oh boy: Those Big Apples do roll much better than the old no name ones! And also with the new tires without the fenders the trailer...

    What have you been riding lately?

    I had to commute to the center of Berlin for a two day seminar. Took the Chance to put some more kilometers on the CobblestoneRat. 70 km in two days a 8° C. Not to bad... And cold early morning is a good time to take a tourist picture with only few tourists in it... 😉

    Not in this time

    The name would definitely fit the bike! :giggle:

    What have you been riding lately?

    Just came back from a 48,3 km round trip. A friend of mine wanted to buy a new project bike, but had no means of transport, as the bike was not in rideable condition. So I joined him with my trailer in "bike transport setup". The transport part was around 17 km. The rest is the distance to get...

    What have you been riding lately?

    Our new car is still a few weeks out, so I did our weekly shopping trip with bike and trailer again... As the IronPig has shifter issues that need to be addressed, I took the CobblestoneRat to tow the trailer. 25kg of bike plus 75kg of groceries plus trailer plus my own weight, I probably had to...

    What have you been riding lately?

    Yesterday I rode the CobblestoneRat with my trailer in full protest gear. Despite the crappy weather (cold, foggy and sprinkling rain) we were around 100 riders on our monthly protest ride. Screenshot from the video below (you can see me at 10 secs in and at 34 secs) ;-) And some more...

    Faux Bamboo Tiki Bike

    Having worked as a theatrical propsmaster for several years, I really admire the effort and attention to detail you put into this faux Bamboo and Tiki build! :thumbsup: This will turn out great! Can't wait to see the final product!

    ** The next build off 2024 **

    Just to give an idea (or two) some pics I found in the interwebs: I think you get the idea...

    ** The next build off 2024 **

    In the shower I just had an idea for another future build off: ✌️ Double Feature/Two is a pair/Double Trouble 👉 Building up two matching bikes (male/female, adult/kid, twins,...)

    We bought a 100+ year old stone cottage!

    Hey Luke, I was just wondering how it's going downunder. All good with you and your wife? How's the cottage coming along (and your workshop of course)?

    ** The next build off 2024 **

    The time itself (3 month per BO) is fine by me. The timing on the other hand would be better (for me) if all is pushed back by one month, but that would mean that the actual winter BO ends within Christmas and New Year holidays... Especially for the summer BO it is almost impossible for me to...

    ** The next build off 2024 **

    Definitely a lot of potential here. Should/could maybe include trailers 👍 Probably to closed up for international builders (like me😉) Heck yeah! Loads of ideas spinning in my head all the time! 👍 Been there, done that! But could/would do it again! 😜

    What have you been riding lately?

    Another utility ride today. I had to clean out some leftovers from the basement. The stuff that t was to big to go into the regular trash had to go to the recycling center. The perfect job for the IronPig and my trustworthy trailer! That's the load to carry All loaded up Back home
