cfsmtb management is obviously quite busy, so here’s some recent pix we took of the Dreams on Wheels Exhibition at Fred Square. If you wait around a bit, no doubt there’s lots of other bicycle-themed snapshots in this display for your viewing pleasure.
Enjoy.
I want a New Toy, oh ay oh, nothing too demanding. Ta.
Beer Can Hill has a new resident – Kitten of Doom. Isn’t she fugging gorgeous! KoD is the ultimate set-and-forget commuter, practically the only thing I’ll have to do now is ride the ruddy thing to bed the disc brakes in. And then possibly adjust/replace the head stem. And then decide if 36T is fine … and then decide whether to replace it with 44T … and then have to frig around with the chain line … but like most projects it’s ongoing process of tweaking until optimum results and/or satisfaction is obtained.

But no, it’s true, via the ever-creative folk from World of Instructables comes the Cart Bike.
Combine a derelict shopping cart with a bicycle for a ride with ample cargo capacity.
This is a nice way to save a shopping cart and a bike that might otherwise end up in a landfill. It is quite the head turner but not a good corner turner.
IMHO it looks more like a Poor Mans BakFiet that pivots like a brick. And Bill, if you’re reading this, this maybe another project we may need to discuss. Or not.
The modern cyclist is making an elegant and intelligent response to pollution and traffic congestion
