Time to get started

June 28th, 2010 by Bill

Well, Social networking is certainly feeling very established now.  While I’ve resisted blogging, twitter, and facebook [almost there], it’s pretty clear that the communication potential is far reaching.  Seems everyone is flowing on board, like we’ve reached a critical mass.   Time to join in on the conversation and engage.

And there’s the very practical side of website updating – it must be easy or it won’t get done.

I’ll start with a link to another blog, bikeportland.org , where a recent story on the Truck Trike was published.

Bear in mind this trike is heavy duty, as we are trying for 800 lbs. cargo.  I’ll be the first to admit this needs to be tested and proven – that’s a lot of weight.  But I’m not concerned about the structure of the steel frame and flat bed; it seems the wheels will most often be the limiting factor, since all the load stress needs to course through them.
