Ken and I rode to the tip of Leslie Spit today. The trailer made it very easy.

Until I was cycling back against the wind and Someone fell asleep. Then it was not so easy.

Yet the trailer came through even then - being of a reclined design, Ken was able to doze safely. With the other upright trailers, that's not possible. And the two-wheel tent-style trailers are slow and cumbersome. We heard someone using one remark on the design of our (much smaller and lighter) Weehoo.

rand()m quote

Immature poets imitate mature poets steal bad poets deface what they take and good poets make it into something better or at least something different. The good poet welds his theft into a whole of feeling which is unique utterly different than that from which it is torn the bad poet throws it into something which has no cohesion. A good poet will usually borrow from authors remote in time or alien in language or diverse in interest.

—T.S. Eliot
