Tell your friend great job. I really enjoyed it.

Pretty good stuff. Definitely helped me shore up some of my gear and outline a larger plan of preparations.

My favourite kind of read: Entertaining and educational. Picked up quite a few tips, especially as I am relatively new to this kind of thing, and will be putting some of that info to good use. Thanks!

I was interested in the bike outrigger setup that allowed the bike to be used on railway lines. Could you explain how that works or give a description of one? Thanks

WOW!
That was a well used Monday! It gave me a good idea for my mini BOB. The best educational fiction I've ever read! Nice work. |

here's a typical rail bike setup:  the two small wheels on the front are attached to the front forks and are designed to straddle the rail instead of riding on it. their purpose is to guide the front wheel and keep it on the rail. the rear wheel and outrigger don't need guides as they will follow the front wheel wherever it goes. the bike should lean in towards the middle of the tracks slightly so weight will be on the outrigger. this modification can be enhanced by attaching a small gas engine set to turn the rear wheel. also a trailer can be fashioned to also ride the rails, increasing your carrying capacity. here are links to other rail bike sites: http://raysikorski.blogspot.com/2007/04 ... works.html http://www.freeridepgh.org/html/uses.html http://www.railriders.net/railbike_wheels.htm http://www.oddtopic.com/ http://www.railbike.com/history.htm "Once when Bruce Nelson was asked by a suspect if the thirteen-round magazine in the P35 was not a big advantage, Bruce’s answer was, “Well, yes, if you plan to miss a lot.” - Jeff Cooper |
