the new bike trailer came through

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

Selfish leaders increase risk by placing themselves first. It's a fundamental mistake to assume that what is good for us personally is mutually exclusive to what is good for everyone. That kind of zero-sum game is for cowards, and in the end, we all pay the price for this type of latent, toxic leadership.
