At the end of the day
yes its Rained for the last three days and today we where flooded in and the last time this happened was in 1991 about the same time of the year. we had about three weeks of non stop rain. mind you they have ckeaned the creek out since then and put a high level road in. Needless to say the high level road was under water. So much for Council engineers? anyway if we get less rain overnight it should clear up by tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

Foot Brake pics
2417 shows the footbrake locked on. And 2418 shows the
footbrake off.
2420 is a picture of the back rack, I made this from a set of
back frame forks.
Three wheel Box bike
This one is still in the pipeline, and has been modified several times.I had a problem working out the back brake
so I updated to cantilever brakes and made it foot operated and incorporated a parking brake. still working on the front brakes which I am hoping to operate with one brake lever on the handlebars which will work on both front wheels at the same time too stop brake steer.If you look at the pictures you will see that I have put in a second bottom bracket, this makes the pedaling far more comfortable and has been tested.
Long John
I had a little bit of a problem with the steering, but I resolved this by changing the length of the steering arm at the bottom of the handlebars.
Funny Ideas
Yes its strange but has you get older you tend to get funny Ideas, these have been dormant for many years, and start to surface, and it may just be a good idea to put some of them into practice. at the moment it has rained non stop for about three days with more to come so I thought what a great time to start my bicycle blog.
Bike with sidecar
This was the little quad bike that I was not happy with so I modified it into a bike with sidecar.
