I'd want chains, straps, steel reinforcements and a Tom and Jerry style wolf pacifier on hand. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7264#post-75894 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 18:57:32 +0000 Uberuce 75894@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Aww, be nice to the wee floofy doggies, Darkerside. At least put them in the mobile kennel Carry Freedom also make, which I guess would be 'uberenneled'</p> <p>Bike has been safely recombined, albeit with no trailer involvement since I couldn't figure out how to secure it without unacceptably close rear wheel spacing. If I had a wee table I didn't mind strapping a bike to, I could have put that upside down on the bed and that would have worked, but the only ones I have are nicely varnished.</p> <p>Since RDNA was coming round that way in his van anyway... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7264#post-75886 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 17:59:43 +0000 Puzzle 75886@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Result! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7264#post-75863 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 15:37:08 +0000 Darkerside 75863@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>'Strapped-to-Uberuces-trailer' is a bit long for an adjective that I for one would like to see used more often,.

My father (who was clearly my hero for ever after) went out and explored the neighbourhood and came back with it (slightly scratched and sad) a while later.<br /> I reclaimed this bike from cousins a few years ago and one day I will do it up. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7264#post-75755 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 19:37:07 +0000 Uberuce 75755@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>If you're in now, it's ready to be transported and I can trailerise it there in a handful of minutes... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7264#post-75754 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 19:32:03 +0000 recombodna 75754@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>THE SYSTEM WORKS!!!

It's probably more strapped-to-Uberuces-trailer than usual, I admit.</p> <p>Saw it parked outside a very nice lady's house, and on enquiring discovered she'd found it there this morning. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7264#post-75746 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 17:01:21 +0000 Nelly 75746@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Some people are real heroes.

Kids left it out over night and some scrote took it between 3am and mid day today.. If anyone see's it dumped anywhere?... Maroon with rusty handlebars. It's no great loss but it annoys me that folk would steal a kids bike...... </p>
