Some years ago I can remember reading artices in two separate magazines about a cycle towed
dingy and a cycle towed caravan . I cannot find these anywhere on the net . Anyone got any
bright ideas ?

There were in Velovision maybe a year ago.

I remember reading an article (with pictures) a few years ago about a cycle towed caravan. I had
thought it was in Recumbent Cyclist News, but I've just checked the only copy that I ever bought and
it's not in there. There's no mention of it in my bike mag index. I think it may have been in
Cycling Today, but I'm not sure.

Whatever, I'm pretty sure it was towed behind a Leitra. Ooh, a quick search of Google groups shows
that I posted this on 11/10/02:

"I've got a picture somewhere, I believe in an old copy of Bicycle Culture Quarterly, showing a
fully faired Leitra recumbent bike towing a small caravan. The machine was owned by an artist,
who tours Europe and lives in the caravan. Perhaps not my first choice of habitation, but I loved
the idea."

So I looked in the loft, found said magazine (Bicycle Culture issue 11, I think it's 5 or 6 years
old) and found an article about a fully faired Leitra described as "the world's smallest mobile
home", but not towing a caravan.

So I've been no help at all, sorry. I know I've seen an article somewhere with a bike towing a
caravan, though.

The article I saw wasn't. I've never seen a copy of Velo Vision.

That would have been Tobias Enke, IIRC. He was an itinerant artist and silversmith, but I think has
now settled in Bielefeld.

Sacha Knoop used to tow the fairing of his race recumbent behind the bike that lurked therein - this
was usually referred to as "Sacha's Caravan".

Dunno, but I used to live a couple of miles from there as a kid and I'm not dead yet... IIRC there
was something Nasty in the soil in Marburg.

I am thinking of a place that used to be in old east Germany that was the site for huge chemical
works, poisoned the soil to a depth of 7 feet for miles around, trike country, so you don't have to
put your feet down, I must know Bielefield for some other reason.

Bielefeld is in the north west of Germany, in Nord-Rhein Westfalen, a long way from the new German
states (the politically correct phrase for the former east Germany, so I'm told).

Wrenching this somewhat back on topic, Bielefeld is a fairly major train junction, a la Crewe. One
of these years I'm going to get my act together and do a cycling tour of Munsterland, probably using
Bielefeld as start and end point. Not this year though, as I'm off to the Salzkammergut in Austria
on Wednesday for 10 days of cycling in lake and mountain country.
