Did you get a windsock yet? Maybe it will help with traffic safety issues.

Cats just don't feel safe on a moving bicycle, no matter how much duct tape you use.

Probably the same thing that vipes did wrong. Tried to upload a pic that was too big. You can link to any size pic, but there's a limit on how big you can upload, I think about 39K. Shrink the pic, edit your post, and re-upload.

Hey Blazing Pedals,

Is your home built adjustable as to size of rider? I'm interested in building something like it, only using a 27" tire road bike as the basis. Also, do you have some more pictures that would help one to build?

Thanks.

PPC,

What type of bag is that attached to the BikeE?

Attached, my EZ-Rider

It's the standard BikeE bag, with a custom strap so that it's attached snuggly and permanently to the top bar on the BikeE seat. It's a nice enough bag, with an aluminium "rib" inside to maintain its square shape. There's a review of the thing here: https://www.simplecom.net/poleary/bik...g%20review.htm. I'm not sure if you can still find it these days.

Fine looking machine. Tell me, looking at the seat, it looks very similar to the BikeE seat: am I guessing correctly that you're after the same kind of bag? If so, with a little creativity, you could get a square-ish bag, punch holes at the top to pass a lanyard to attach it to your seat's top cross-member, and bend a metal rod to go inside, ala BikeE bag, and get a very similar result. I can make a drawing of the thing for your if you want.

PPC,

Yes... I was hoping to simply get a nice size pannier to clip to the back of the seat. Not sure if the tubing that supports the seatback is thin enough though - it is about 3/4 inches diameter.

I like your idea though, maybe I will just need to rig something in a more "permenant" attachment to the seatback.
