Where's Bruce and his trailer? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6571#post-81348 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 23:45:36 +0000 Smudge 81348@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>+1 for SRD's idea, though it might be best to have "representative weight" rather than actual breakable little ones in the trailers if it's a race :-o </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6571#post-81339 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 20:58:52 +0000 SRD 81339@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Could we have a family variant? after we have trailers!
