Life is moving so fast at the moment I’m pushed to keep up with it, let alone blog about it. Apart from the bike tour, which I still need to write loads on, I’ve other people powered stories to tell. And I’m supposed to be writing a guest post for another blog, and…
In the meantime I’m trying to live in the real world, where both the Xtracycle and the Bakfiets are seeing a lot of use. Someone asked me to fetch and deliver an empty box which will soon find a use in a community theatre production or on some other project.

@ Zweiradler: Didn’t think of that, but I can see the resemblance… (Those who don’t know what this is about, click here)
@Paul: I though that as well, my own deckchair with wheels… Or maybe a mobile office in summer?
