Belt broke. It had been skipping more and more, lately, so I guess it gave me fair warning. Was a bit of a surprise, though.

Good one! All's well that ends well, eh?

The commercial ones are ~ same cost as my bike!
Yeah, me too. There was a guy making them in New Brunswick NJ, advertising them on Craigs List; I meant to have him make one for my canoe (to tow it behind the bike; easier than lifting it up on the car) but now I can't find the posting any more. Google didn't help, but I did find some interesting stuff.
