    I ordered a new bike!

    I picked up some new pedals yesterday, I ordered a new seat that should be arriving any day now, I also ordered some trailer hitch parts that should be arriving any day now. Oh! And also new tires. Today I think I’m going to order a new stem. I stripped one of the screws so I have a hard time...

    Mini velo! Let’s see em!

    Forgive me if this is already a thread, but I don’t think it is... Biria mini 20. Stock flipped and chopped handle bars.

    A beautiful coastal spring sunset after a day of getting my new deathtrap dialed in. :)

    I ordered a new bike!

    After riding on and off all day I think everyone needs a mini velo. It’s so easy to get it in and out of my house. My neighborhood is easier to get around in to. I’d say definitely build one, you’ll be happy you did! My face hurts from smiling, and my ears hurt from the cold air rushing by as I...

    I ordered a new bike!

    Thank you very much! :) it’s super fun. Idk what the tires are, but they seem kind of mid range. I took it on gravel, and it was SKETCHY. This is totally the bike I’m going to be towing my kayak with, it’ll fit nicely behind my seat too. It’s short enough to not get in the way of a motor, and...

    Here’s the real deal. I’m going to reuse the axle and wheels exactly how they are, they will bolt right up. I’ll also be reusing the pvc hull supports, they are currently incomplete, but I flattened the bottom that rests on the wood so it will seat properly. The new cart is primed and ready for...

    I have my “prototype” complete, and it’s going to work very well. It’s rock solid, but I built it very lazily because I wasn’t sure it was going to work. It is going to work. I’m rebuilding all the wood parts with proper careful measurements, and the right tools.

    Anyone tried these "Thousand Heritage" helmets?

    I’ve been using one for a couple weeks, I really like the adjustment wheel on it. The magnetic clip is AWESOME. It seems like a legit helmet so far.

    I dig it! It looks a lot better than my pvc cart. Your yak looks like it RIPS!

    Bicycle trailer help?

    It’s basically just slapped together, I used wood from my scrap pile. Like a lot of stuff I make, it ain’t pretty, but it’s solid. I think I’m going to bail on the modular idea, and make it just to fit my kayak. It should save a few pounds. It should cut down on rolling resistance quite a bit...

    Bicycle trailer help?

    Not the prettiest setup in the world, but it works! It’s solid, the wheels spin. I found wheels I’m going to replace these with, but that’s for another day. I’ll be permanently attaching a 24x20 inch piece of 3/4 inch plywood across the top. There will be a grid of 1/2 inch holes drilled every...

    I like Paul Elkins trailer designs. He uses that corrugated plastic sheet stuff from real estate signs to make stuff. https://elkinsdiy.com/
