Test Ride #3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvoF-Xbz92U

It's only doing about 10mph. I changed the gearing looks like I went further then I should have. 15mph was my goal, really don't want to go any faster then that but 10mph will drive me crazy on a long ride.

Still have some work to do before I get it they way I will like it.

Cool

I suppose if the wheels on the push trailer were a larger diameter they wouldn't get caught in potholes quite so badly. Though for a low spend use wot ya got project it's turned out surprisingly well.

Yes bigger wheels would help a lot. I do have a pile of spare wheels and tires maybe I should think about doing that.

One thing I do not like at all is riding where we have no bike lanes. Its a little scary some drivers get so close and with the extra width of the trailer makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. I wish drivers would obey the 3 foot law we have. I know I always do.

I find the local drivers around here give me plenty of room, but on holiday weekends when we have a lot of city folks driving through town I find I have to keep a much sharper eye out for idiots.

I don't know what the solution could for drivers who pass too close except for having a small explosive device on the end of a three foot stick

Anti climb paint on a big brush, or perhaps even brake fluid. Nothing like dealing with the results of their own behaviour to bring it home to dangerous drivers.

LOL, Anne. Scuba divers use something like that. It's called a 'Bang Stick'. They're used to ward off sharkes.

Could be just the thing for Tin sharks.
