Blue bike



This is a rough sketch of the Elephant bike. I was on a road trip to Chicago and I drew this in the car. It's a pedicab with seats facing each other. Two riders pedal in front like a tandem. I am thinking that up to 6 people could fit. The Elephant would be constructed out of lightweight aluminum and recycled fabric. I think the trunk could be made out of 2 liter bottles tied together. The ears could be rubber from an old bike tubes strung together.

Got out riding this weekend and saw some live music. Saturday we worked on bikes in my back yard. What a great day to be out in the sun. It was still a cool 30-40 degrees which in my books is refreshing. Saturday night we thought we could ride but we were not the best prepared for the cold. We are really just practicing for the summer nights, rolling in T shirts and shorts.
We are slowing kicking this cold. It's Minnesota right! The cold just does not want to go.
