… and unfortunately the cables of brakes and hubgear on my Bullitt were frozen. So I decided to defrost them inside our livingroom. Luckily my wife didn’t protest ;-)
Tomorrow I’ll try to spray some thin oil inside the cables to get it damp-resistant.

OpenBikeWorks is developing a nice cargo-bike. It got my attention, because their aim is to build the bike without any welding needed ! Every average sucker (as I am) can drill holes and play with bolts and nuts, just no welding please because that requires craftsmanship gained in many years.
I expect that “Do-It-Yourself” will be more and more common in the near future, due to the financial crisis.
I like the way they were inspired by an old Ner A Car motorcycle from 1925.
There is a video which shows it after restoration ;
I’m curious if their plans for the steering will work out properly …
I hope the frame will be strong enough to carry 100 kg , as the Bullitt already has proven.

He must have a lot of muscle-power in his arms, to lift up the front wheel …
thanks for the link Rob.
Henry from Workcycles describes all kinds of cargo-bikes and I think it is worth to re-blog ……
Also the rest of his blog is always an interesting read for cyclists.

A rare moment ………… because we seldom ride together ! When we are both on our recumbents, I am always miles ahead. But last weekend we found out that when I’m on the Bullitt and Marjan on het Challenge Focus, we keep together all the way 
I used the “trimtool” and found another speedy recumbent in the photos.
