Dear Bikies, Thanks for the responses and support to the Aaron Weiler Bike Cart Workshop. It looks to be a promising event with food, hands-on work, and a bicycle maintenance chat! Look near the end of the email for more events he's in. Permission was granted from Lothlorien Co-op for the event to be hosted on their rear patio space Sunday afternoon. Aaron has confirmed he'd like to build two flatsy design carts, one regular and one having a "chariot" hitch (one that attaches to the seat post instead of the rear axle.) Flatsy bike cart plans: http://bikecart.pedalpeople.com/flatsy-seq.pdf http://bikecart.pedalpeople.com/flatsy-booklet.pdf
