Steering Upgrade!!

Happy day, oh happy day, all the parts are in order, and I’m ready to go install the new ICE indexed handlebar guides! No more fussing about with handlebar placement every time I fold and unfold the trike! I looked, but I don’t see an install process promulgated by ICE anywhere. I feel like their […]

Steps

Obviously, step one was getting the ride, but I covered in the last post. That’s now just a waiting game. But, while I’m waiting, I thought, why not get some of the other pieces in place, right? And so, that first step starts with getting my bike trailer back to a slightly better that “functional” […]
