The Busycle is in Big Trouble


The Busycle is in Big Trouble. It got a Tow Warning 68 hours ago. And has to be moved in 4 hours time :( Jerry G, across the street sez we can put it in his driveway until 9/12 when we take it to Mikes Bikes. Who can help for about 10 minutes?



11 AM today - call me for directions. I need at least 8 sets of legs.... 415-606-5043



Here is the Facebook dialogue that resulted:

Come on, Martin! If you can ride a hi-wheeler over the Sierras and across the NV desert, surely you can tow a little bus with that thing, right? Have an espresso and cowboy up!

want's to know what is broken on the Busycle? Maybe it (the busycle) would like to move to Eureka Ca. for repairs? I am a builder of Kinetic Sculptures and have both parking room and a shop to perform repairs.

Disaster averted. Lincoln Evans showed up with a couple friends, Jerry Gras "pedaled" and George Bradshaw and his boyz helped too. A mini party of neighbors and passers by ensued as 20 feet later we covered her up. Roland Hsu got there on time but we were done. Ditto for Steve Branz. This machine creates a lot of excitement!! WoW!!

is glad to hear that the Buscycle was able to dodge the tow truck for the time being. Next time I am in the bay area I will have to stop int and take a ride. My 4 x 10 Kinetic weighs 1,412 lbs and can easily be pedaled by one person although ten is the intended number of riders. You can see photos of it on my FB page. It is still under construction for the 2010 race here in Humboldt County.
