Default So I have been sick for 2 weeks

Haven't touched the bike. Though I know nothing I can do will get it to go farther than its 1 mile limit now.



So any new inventions in my absence? I am sure Deacon has thought of something in the past week.

Thought of, tried, failed miserably, and moved on to something else. I think I have the chainsaw bike ready to test ride first thing in the morning. I finished it this afternoon but it was raining to beat the band. I wouldn't ride any bike in the rain especially a friction drive.

I ran out of gas on mine last week on my 31cc and had to pedal it home. It was one of the most miserable bike experiences yet and I was only a mile or so from home. But I live in a place that is somehow ALL uphill. I know that is impossible but it sure seemed like it.

Deacon with that smaller wheel on the back of your bike it may seem your always going uphill! Had a Schwinn Orange Krate and I always felt like I was going down hill!

The 31cc is on the stupid mountain bike so it has the 26" rear and the 24" front wheel. Should seem to be going downhill, but I live in HIGH POINT NC. They named it that for a reason. Miserable place for a fat old man to bike.
