 Two years ago when was thinking about a three wheel pedal i knew this old fat guy was not going to pedal a single speed bike very far up some of the little bumps on my hunting roads. Ahhh What to do?

We have a winner. 2labs

Yep

I woke up in the middle of the night. Do some of my best thinking while I sleep. And said you have to attach something to the front forks to tow it. Has to be light and compact.
So I went over to the hardware store tonight and cruised the isles.

Burned up some serious brain matter. Ended up in the lawn sprinkler dept.  First I found the fitting to go around a tube, they called it a riser saddle. Than some plastic risers couple couplings.
Got home and saw it would not work on the front fork but fit perfect on the handle bar.

Did some adjustments and presto Tow Handle. Works great in the drive way.

I bet you could get a few gears on that thing. you may not be able to put any in the back where it is the most beneficial, however you likely can do it up front, and some gearing is better than none. Time to look at what brand of running gear that stuff has and how its more easily adapted to new rigs.
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

Took it turkey hunting this past week . Was a lot of fun on the gated roads. Not as easy to ride has you would think. Cannot lean it, have to steer it.
Crashed off the road once and went over the handle bars. But all ok.

 :chuckle: jeez Ghost ! How fast were you going that you learned it doesn't lean!?!?!?

I am glad you're ok but for some reason envisioning you trying to knee drag a corner on that tri cycle made my day! :chuckle:

I think you should swap out the bell for a hoochie mama elk call,  Just give it a little squeeze as you are cruising around.  :)

Do not say, Why were the old days better than these? For it is not wise to ask such questions.
