Another bicycle power library
|
Dang, I would try to figure something else out with the hitch on that BAW trailer because the forward tilt is really weird and disconcerting!

That must be interesting going up and down the hills in San Francisco.

There's a librarian with some great legs...
|
Yeah, but how's she do in the snow?;)

Awesome! I'm glad the kickstarter got the $$ they wanted for electric-assist, lights, lock, panniers, etc. I would have tossed them $10.

http://www.brucew.com/images/rides/2...arade-0800.jpg You'll notice that hers is also built on a Bikes-at-Work trailer, the smaller size than ours. There are at least a couple of dozen others out there too. I don't think I mentioned it here, we got another grant to build two more for next year. Half of the grant is funded by my bike club too. Next year we have to work on getting a fourth one so that each city quadrant has one. Our trailer is going on a little junket next week. It's to be featured at the annual meeting of NYLA, the New York Library Association. No, I'm not pedaling it all the way to Lake Placid. It's riding in the Director's van. |

The tongue rotates in a pair of clamps, like muffler clamps. You can kinda sorta see them in the photo of mine. You're supposed to rotate the tongue so that the trailer is level, then slide it left or right so the trailer tracks centered behind the bike. Finally, you need to rotate the hitch on the bike so that it pulls level as well. Those three little steps seem to have been neglected on her rig. |

That's a setup problem.
