DonaldSmith Posted December 22, 2015 Report Posted December 22, 2015 Post 226: Two bicycles connected side to side? Looking closely; nope. But the far bike has two trailers. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted December 22, 2015 Report Posted December 22, 2015 I did not see a connection of them either...I knew a guy named Mort who could ride two bikes at the same time....got a 35mm slide of that somewhere in my old photos.. Quote
DonaldSmith Posted December 22, 2015 Report Posted December 22, 2015 Fascinating engineering, how to attach a trailer to a bike. The neighbors' kiddie hauler works the same. I would have created a huge gooseneck to attach to something behind the back seat. These trailers have a simple side arm to attach near the rear hub. The theory is that you are not going to turn the trailer too sharply. Another case of the simpler, the better. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted December 22, 2015 Report Posted December 22, 2015 Nascar version...you only turn left... Quote
Ulu Posted December 22, 2015 Report Posted December 22, 2015 I see an amazing array of "African Engineered" bike-trailer rigs going up & down the Santa Fe corridor and the Highway 99 corridor. Often much more crude than that one. I see lots of homeless people towing their little dogs on them. Probably their only friend, as they struggle to find some place to flop until the PD and the RR guys catch up to them again. Wet weather means plastic-tarp cities in the hobo-jungle tradition. The sad joke is lots of these guys were software engineers and stock brokers before they snapped... Anyhow, I always think the same thing: "There, but for grace, go I...." 1 Quote

The theory is that you are not going to turn the trailer too sharply. Another case of the simpler, the better. Years ago I had a small utility trailer for my bicycle that had a gooseneck to a ball hitch located behind the seat post. I guess the manufacturer of that trailer thought the way you did. Quote
Ulu Posted December 23, 2015 Report Posted December 23, 2015 They make this thing similar, that hooks to your motorcycle so you can tow golf clubs, but it only has one wheel. It has a gooseneck with a u-joint at the top. Quote
pflaming Posted December 23, 2015 Report Posted December 23, 2015 I find it very interesting the amount of information and discussion a picture of an unusual mechanical apparatus evokes. Here is an interesting nature picture taken last night from my front door. 1 Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted December 23, 2015 Report Posted December 23, 2015 as a kid growing up PP I would marvel as a cloud would pass over and you could watch the fields as the shadow it cast would pass over from on end to the other...there has been a few times that I would walk out the back door into the rain and yet if I went out the front, the weather was clear..guess it is true in about all things...somewhere you just got to draw a line..

greg g Posted December 23, 2015 Report Posted December 23, 2015 Thanks for the help on Rudolf, So did not get it. Reminds of a statement my buddy used to say. Why are Blueberries red when they are green?? Took me years to figure that one out.. And why are they purple when they are ripe??? Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted December 23, 2015 Report Posted December 23, 2015 and how can my pen write red, green blue and yellow an so forth but only have one ink tube? Quote
Desotodav Posted December 23, 2015 Report Posted December 23, 2015 (edited) I just had this funny photo emailed to me... Time for another beer! Edited December 23, 2015 by Desotodav 2 Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted December 23, 2015 Report Posted December 23, 2015 amazing that their is still a tad of head left on the beer given the participants physical condition.. Quote

greg g Posted December 24, 2015 Report Posted December 24, 2015 (edited) get it.jpg Have you read the new book written about of the least known reindeer, Olive? "Olive, the other Reindeer" Edited December 24, 2015 by greg g Quote
DonaldSmith Posted December 24, 2015 Report Posted December 24, 2015 Olive wasn't very nice to Rudolph; "Olive the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names." Quote
pflaming Posted December 24, 2015 Report Posted December 24, 2015 Olive was the "odd ox" of the team! Quote
Don Coatney Posted December 24, 2015 Author Report Posted December 24, 2015 I understand Rudolph got confused flying over the red light district of Bethlehem and inadvertently landed on the roof of a bordello. Santa got out of the lead sled, fell down the chimney, and got stuck holding the reins. Quote
pflaming Posted December 24, 2015 Report Posted December 24, 2015 Wrong character,that was Ole St Nick! Quote
pflaming Posted December 24, 2015 Report Posted December 24, 2015 San = masculine, San Francisco Santa = feminine, Santa Barbara Ergo: Santa Claus is a cross dresser??? Quote
