a trailer hitch for our Rondo

We're adding a trailer hitch to our Kia, so we can take the bikes to the cottage on the weekend. It'll be a happy addition should we suddenly find ourselves needing to relocate following a disruption in society/the economy. Double purpose!

Apparently our humble four-cylinder car can tow 2,000kg of stuff. Most modest covered trailers weight about 40% of that.

rand()m quote

It has always seemed strange to me...The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success. And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second.

—John Steinbeck, Cannery Row
