electric assist

After peddling the Dreamcycle today and sweating, I am seriously looking at an electric assist motor to help out.

Grill and license plate

I bought this aluminum decoration and some tin snips at Home Depot . I cut to size of the pvc structure and screwed on with small wide head screws. Did the same with my Aloha State Hang Loose license plate, generously donated by son Jeff. Thanks, Jeff! The back isn't finished yet, so the back plate will have to wait.

I peddled to the club house to deliver my HOA dues and got lots of comments, including some laughs about the license plate.

Ride to bicycle shop attempt one

First attempt to get to the bicycle shop. Took off down the back roads and
got about a mile, but when I cranked on it to get across the street, the sprocket slipped and the hex screw backed out. Didn't have my allen wrech so I had to walk it
back to the garage. I may make the second attempt this weekend, armed with an allen wrench.

Kitchen shelf paper for a chrome grill

I cut and wrapped chrome shelf paper around the grill of the Dreamcycle. It's self adhesive and fairly easy to work with. Chrome isn't the most popular color/pattern for shelf paper but can be found where kitchen stuff is sold. A few embossed logos cause bumps under the chrome and a good present wrapper would do better than I on the rounded corners.
