bike tube and bike tyre recycling. Woohoo! |
Hi, in the last few days I have fixed up the Velocino and had it on the road for a short test run this afternoon. This included custom 3d printing a light enclosure and using it to plug the front frame tube. It goes quite well, and I think the above seat steering does a good job, allowing me to lean forward on the handlebars for improved aerodynamics, but its not quite
classic Velocino . There is still quite a bit I can do with this bike which is quite fun to ride. I should be able to make a wooden chainguard and have been working out how to make that in my head.
In other news I visited the
Ceres bike shed where they have recycling facilities for bike tyres, and donated a drill press I had bought in Germany in about 1987 to the Wecycle bike shed. I initially attempted to haul the drill to Wecycle by trike but I only lasted 2 streets before having to return home tail between my legs having broken the tailbox with all the weight. No permanent damage done I hope.
Regards Steve Nurse
