The B.O.B. trailer idea worked great!  Ride went fine, the trailer was top-heavy, making the bike tippy, but not bad.  One minor casualty, while getting the bikes out of the garage, I leaned the trailer too far and the Kona's brake lever hit the ground.  This broke off the hood-mounted bell and damage a small part on the brake lever.  The only issue is I need a new bell and the hood will be a little floppy, the tab that holds the hood to the lever is broken off.  No big deal.

I ended up using the car to pick up the bike, mostly because I was too lazy to reverse the operation and wanted the bike back for a ride tonight to Steel Toe Brewery with some friends.

Time to start Blogging....  OK, I'm a little slow on this stuff.

First post is about this goofball idea.  I've been thinking about pulling a bike to the shop using my B.O.B trailer for years.  I finally decided to do it.  I'm bringing the Kona in for new grip tape and the rear wheel from the Mondonico to have the bearings rebuilt or replaced.  I took this set up for a short ride last night, everything is solid.  Only downside, I think I broke the bell off the Kona's brake hood.

Here is the Marin, pulling the B.O.B. trailer with the Kona mounted on the trailer.  I think for the return trip I will reverse this set up and have the Kona pull the Marin. You'll notice lots of red strapping, these are ratchet straps I have for the car, they are very long, and really add to the MacGyver look of this set up.





Today's ride will be roughly 13 miles to The Alt (Lyn-Lake).  I will post an update when this experiment is complete (all bikes are home from the shop).
