I almost tried that with my Speed D7. I tried fitting it on my trike to take it to the bike shop so they could adjust the gears, at the time. The LBS is over 3 miles away.
Didn't have any bungee cords though and was about to tie it up with rope when my sister unexpectedly came by in her van.
I had told her over the phone that morning that I was going to try this approach to get the bike there today. She really didn't say much about it at the time. She definitely didn't say anything about dropping by that day.
She figured she'd save me from my "foolishness", as she termed it, and drop by to give me a lift.
My next try was with my R20. This time my nephew came by.
No I didn't call anyone this time. My family just pops up like that.
To be honest, I was glad for the intervention on the R20. It doesn't fold very well and it weighs a ton.
P.S. Nice to hear from you again BikeKraft. How's everyone doing on their respective bikes?
