It's pretty genius, actually
 
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) ;-)

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 move something in-between 180 to 190kg... 🥵
No need for a gym...

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 to the bike and later back home from his place. It was cold (around 2° C) but it was a nice ride!

At the start (I took the chance to get some stuff to him, that was stashed in my basement).

And with the loot loaded on the trailer on the way back (the trailer got some nice Big Apples just yesterday and in the meantime they are also mounted in the right direction 😉)

Took Bali Hai my faux bamboo tiki bike out for about 8 miles for shakedown runs the last couple of days. Today rode it to a stand of bamboo in a wooded area. Fake bamboo at real bamboo.

This bamboo averages about 6" in diameter. There were probably 50 stalks here recently. Someone cut it all down but this.

I hope y'all are ok with a couple of non-RR Bike photos. I ride more and wrench less these days.

Max on lookout.

The Great Salt Lake never freezes, so it's possible to sail year around.

The Sand Creek marching band got stalled & played the Air Force fight song twice right in front of me!:rockout::rockout:
Several other talented marching bands from the area played as well!

I hoped to ride PRPPL NRPPL afterwards but spent too much time chatting with Brothers I went to war with. My best friend sent a pic of me grabbing chow with our friend Gary.(I'm the dork in glasses on the left.🤓)

not much clearance with the "thick bricks " had make sure my wheels are laser straight also crimped the frame in the much needed spots and trimed the chainguard that I also had shorten about 1 1/2" since I only had one for 26" frame , Lotta work went into this ride but it was well worth it.
