For those who came in late, Wheels of Justice movement kicked off in
Adelaide due to the inappropriate actions of one Mr. E. McGee. Thought
you should be reminded of that, background here:
http://bicyclejustice.blogspot.com/

McGee and his brother, Craig, will face Adelaide Magistrates Court on
October 7 accused of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.

Back to the WoJ stuff, have pretty blue leaflets to go, so if you're
attending Melb Goatage this Friday (Oct 7) be sure to pick up a stack
to distribute. Another 250 leaflets are heading north this afternoon to
be distributed at the BFA conference in Brisbane.

We'll get the WoJ business cards sorted out soon when the url biz is
arranged. :)

The gooch fella took some footage of me on tandem with daughter at the
Fat Tyre Flyers on Sunday, so when I saw this post yesterday arvo, rang
home to get wife to tape it. Always a risky business, but somehow she
managed to get it going only to records a couple of hours of static...
Seems 31 was off air for a while last night.

Saw him again this morning at Fed Sq. He wants to do a bit of a feature
of our tandems set up for kids. So look out in a month or two for that.

Was talking to one of my colleagues today, his friends a keen cyclist.
Took his daughter on an ATB on a tandem a few years ago.

His daughters now competing in the state chapionships and by all
accounts doing well.

Sure. We have 2 tandems. Both 2nd hand. One bought BC (Before
Children). Had a Burley trailer on it when daughter no 1 was 8 weeks
old. Put on kiddy cranks when daughter no 1 was about 3. Got the bottom
bracket mount made up by the people from Greenspeed who also cut down
some cranks to have about 125mm and 150mm pedal mounts. I hobbled the
rest together with a used bb and chain. Altogther cost about $350.

PM me if you want moe info.

Used with no 1 girl for a few years including creche runs with girl no
2 in a bike seat. Got another tandem that wife could ride up front.
Think it might have originally come from Pegasus. It is sized about 15"
in the rear so no 1 girl could ride it with seat all the way down when
she was nearly 7. Got some crank shorteners for it from the States.

So now daughter 1 is 8 and rides on that tandem with wife (or me), or
on her own bike and daughter no 2 is 5 on the back of my (her) tandem.

Guess in a few years we might take the kiddy cranks off when daughter
no 1 can ride on my tandem and no 2 can go on wife's.

Eventual aim is for them to captain and wife and I to have our feet up
on the back.

I thought you might be at Fed square this morning Dutchy! I waved when i
was riding past, but i couldn't pop in, dam school:mad: .

Also I saw a lot of Vote-4-Jason-4-BV on the roads this morning! Well
done. If you actually rode and wrote all of these yourself i reckon
you've got the next D-grade crit won, that's a lot of riding.

Nope, it's chalk. Washes off. I've done plenty of chalking for numerous
nefarious political/social causes going back two decades & haven't been
caught or sprung yet. It's about the method, anything that avoids
property damage is generally ignored. :)

So the next step would be chalking every approach and exit
from Docklands for 16 October ATB.
