Didn't WABA move a year or so ago?
WABA should speak up about Fenty's bad riding habits...oh wrong thread. I'll put it there, too.
Yeah, I was thinking about riding down to help out. And I've got an xtracycle if anyone wants to join me!Quote:

The new office is uphill from the old one, so that was a bit challenging pulling a load.
I learned some things about my trailer. It needs a piece of wood against the front to keep things from sliding toward my wheel. And I need to figure out a way of rigging adjustable ropes to tighten down any size load. But overall, the trailer worked well.
A great way to work the kinks out. You're very generous, DB.
Did you get any swag for your effort?
How about ratcheting tie-downs or bungees to secure a load?
They provided donuts and bagels and coffee, and supposedly pizza afterward but I didn't stay since I don't eat pizza. Everything was boxed up, so if they had anything to give away it wouldn't have been accessible anyway.Quote:

I have a metal one you could have. It's not the baby-gate type, though. It mounts to the doorway and swings like a garden gate. Maybe I can find a pitchur .Quote:
