ALL-IN v.3 trailer details can be found here.

http://www.supertopo.com/climbing/thread.php?topic_id=1214978&tn=0

As I now live in the People's Republic of Boulder I:
1) need to bike around more
2) need to own 2.7 bikes to be cool (according to Brass Nuts [Boulder Diplomat and otherwise all around nice guy]).

BN & Crimpie helped hatch the idea of a sushi bike trailer.

$100 for the trailer, some wood and PVC pipe and let the games begin.







I'm still trimming out the hardwood ply with oak (the sushi bar), have a little more pvc to add, and then I'll add the lights.

It's maiden voyage will be Thursday night for the Boulder Bike Cruise.

Locker - that sounds like an IDEAL cruiser! Get the tires fixed and come join us! Mine is a cheapo Target Special with glittery tassels. It's sparkly pink. BN's has a red chopper complete with flames painted on it.

Fun stuff!

Oh, and they happen every Thursday. :)

How long will it take you to peddle that thing from boulder to Vedauwoo? Will you have to stop for more dry ice along the way?

Picked up my cruiser too. The flat is fixed - hopefully permanently. Locker, I'll send a pm/email to give you beta on where we are. We can ride over to the start of the ride from the house!

You are welcome to join us Nature, but you'd be going out of your way. Still, if you want to start here, let us know!

This Week's Theme - Open Theme


The Ride Guide
To have fun and to be nice to everyone...
To ring thy bell, To wish everyone well...
To sing, to dance, to make merry,
To not bring more than I can carry...
To leave no trace, to Cruise and not to race...
To ride in control and not be a troll...
To stay to the right and to ride with a light...

And of course to say... "Have a Happy Thursday!"

Well I'm happy with what I've put together but it needs more work.

The cruise last night was a train wreck. pieces and parts started falling off. I got held up and lost the cruisers. But I can fix it. It was a great beta run.

The kicker was right before the first explosion the conversation went like this.

"Hi, I'm Summer"
"Hi Summer, I'm Nature"
"oh... nice... hi nature"

and then the trailer fell apart.

D'oh!

And after I got home I figured out my back tire wasn't on right. It was a little skewed to one side because of the trailer hitch. Friction from the brake all night long. Made for a better workout I suppose....

I wish you had been there. you would have cracked the f*#k up at the self destruction.

and you could have stayed with me and we could have sent BN ahead to stay with the group and let us know where they ended up.

Dammit Jim!


Edit: And I'm going to buy some PVC glue and some bigass f'ing bolts!

I don't blame you for bailing (this time ;-)

so to add to my train wreck story... as I was riding back home down broadway I was on the sidewalk and my trailer clipped a tree and tipped the whole thing over. serious carnage. Though I've done inventory and I seem to have everything I left with minus some sushi.

yes to next week!

It was the biggest loser of a cruiser night ever! We waited and waited and I finally went home. The cruiser crowd was tiny (about 15). Is it the end of Boulder cruising? Hope not. Hopefully it gets better.

Sorry about the trailer Nature. She shall rise again!

I heard it was quite the explosive trailer moment. When I last saw the KNOT-ALL-IN, she was looking good!

So, each year, when the university comes back in session, many college kids join the cruiser ride. They often do not have cruisers, don't dress up, and use it as an opportunity to get hammered and behave like hooligans. This is antithetical to the cruiser philosophy. In years gone by, I've seen them pee in people's yard, kick over trashcans, ride through gardens.

Real jerks.

Sometimes the police warn cruisers, but mostly the cruisers wish to lose these elements and return it to the "happy thursday" event it is. So they "shut it down". Stay under the radar and don't post up any cruiser info on the site.

After a period the jerks find some other area to terrorize and leave the cruisers alone. Hopefully we are just in the midst of that right now.

the good news (for me) is that when the cart blew up nobody was witness. Same with flipping that sucker on it's side and sending stuff flying everywhere. It was dark.

I like the concept of the trailer.

Sorry the beta release did not go well. As someone who doesn't know you personally I don't feel right laughing at the level locker is, but the way you describe it it's pretty damn funny.

Also wanted to thank you for the offer for going in half and half for raw fish but I'm too novice at preparing it to fork out that amount of money to play around. Was far easier when I lived on the coast and could pick up 3 types of fish and 2 types of roe to play with for about $60

Full success last night. I was termed "most impressive virgin ever". I recall being asked how long I wanted to stay a virgin.

Fun crowd. It's the core crowd and I've been invited in.

So folks... no exploding sushi cart humor to add though. Bolts and PVC glue... bungie cords and duct tape kept it in one piece.

Malcolm did join in. It was his first ride as well.

Next week is a big blowout party. I think I might order fish from Hawaii and blow their minds.
