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).
