delayed for a few weeks yet 🙁

I bumped into the goochmeister at Fed square this morning.
He's been outta action for weeks with back issues 🙁

I'll find out more in near future as i may be helping him out with some stuff
(and asking ou lot for some too 😄)

Back to the WoJ stuff, have pretty blue leaflets to go, so if you're attending Melb Goatage this Friday (Oct 7) be sure to pick up a stack to distribute. Another 250 leaflets are heading north this afternoon to be distributed at the BFA conference in Brisbane.

We'll get the WoJ business cards sorted out soon when the url biz is arranged. 🙂

The gooch fella took some footage of me on tandem with daughter at the Fat Tyre Flyers on Sunday, so when I saw this post yesterday arvo, rang home to get wife to tape it. Always a risky business, but somehow she managed to get it going only to records a couple of hours of static... Seems 31 was off air for a while last night.

Saw him again this morning at Fed Sq. He wants to do a bit of a feature of our tandems set up for kids. So look out in a month or two for that.

Was talking to one of my colleagues today, his friends a keen cyclist. Took his daughter on an ATB on a tandem a few years ago.

His daughters now competing in the state chapionships and by all accounts doing well.

Sure. We have 2 tandems. Both 2nd hand. One bought BC (Before Children). Had a Burley trailer on it when daughter no 1 was 8 weeks old. Put on kiddy cranks when daughter no 1 was about 3. Got the bottom bracket mount made up by the people from Greenspeed who also cut down some cranks to have about 125mm and 150mm pedal mounts. I hobbled the rest together with a used bb and chain. Altogther cost about $350.

PM me if you want moe info.

Used with no 1 girl for a few years including creche runs with girl no 2 in a bike seat. Got another tandem that wife could ride up front. Think it might have originally come from Pegasus. It is sized about 15" in the rear so no 1 girl could ride it with seat all the way down when she was nearly 7. Got some crank shorteners for it from the States.

So now daughter 1 is 8 and rides on that tandem with wife (or me), or on her own bike and daughter no 2 is 5 on the back of my (her) tandem.

Guess in a few years we might take the kiddy cranks off when daughter no 1 can ride on my tandem and no 2 can go on wife's.

Eventual aim is for them to captain and wife and I to have our feet up on the back.

I thought you might be at Fed square this morning Dutchy! I waved when i was riding past, but i couldn't pop in, dam school😠 .

Also I saw a lot of Vote-4-Jason-4-BV on the roads this morning! Well done. If you actually rode and wrote all of these yourself i reckon you've got the next D-grade crit won, that's a lot of riding.

I'm surprised you haven't been booked on some count of vandalism.

Nope, it's chalk. Washes off. I've done plenty of chalking for numerous nefarious political/social causes going back two decades & haven't been caught or sprung yet. It's about the method, anything that avoids property damage is generally ignored. 🙂

So the next step would be chalking every approach and exit
from Docklands for 16 October ATB.
