Last Friday was a holiday here and I embraced Mrs G's suggestion of a bikeride. We took off about 0930 from home and rode the Federation trail as far as Williamstown Rd about 10 km from home. I then asked "Do you want to turn back now?"To which she replied "And do what, sit at home?" So I led her further east until we hit Mum's house in Fitzroy. By the time we said hello, turned back and got home, we'd dome a smidgin over 60km.That'll learn her! In all seriousness, a great effort from her and no soreness the next day at all.

I used one with my first fd but have sold it.$600 for a tow bar, $200+? for a rack.. Gee do you think I'm made of money! (bike only cost $158, if it cost $4000 -$5000 like yours I might have felt differently)

That's a damn good ride on / ride off ramp you've got there. Nice pic's
I'm going to give my new bike a good workout over the next couple of weeks. I'm going to let @Opa_1 (Nic) use it if he wants to... He's house sitting while we are away.
