Hey Everyone, <br><br>Community Cycles just put on our first ever Winter Cycling workshop, and it was really awesome. (I hope to have photos soon, and will post those when we do.)<br><br>We talked about how to outfit your bike, and how to outfit your person for comfortable riding in the (admittedly, mild) Boulder winter. What to avoid, how to ride differently, etc. <br>
<br>We made a zine for the workshop, and I&#39;m working on getting it into pdf form. I&#39;ll post it to the bike collectives wiki when it&#39;s formatted correctly. <br><br>We&#39;ll be holding a few more of the same class this winter. We&#39;re hoping to get someone to come and film it, so the video will be available later. <br>
<br>We&#39;re also working now on planning a similar class for the spring, but about carrying things on bikes using trailers, racks, bags, etc. <br><br>Does anyone have decent plans for home made trailers or panniers? I know at bikebike in San Francisco, someone had a workshop about coroplast panniers. Does anyone know who put that on? I&#39;ve love to get ahold of that person or the design. <br>
<br>In our workshops, we&#39;re trying really hard to focus just as much on the diy solutions, and not just &quot;here&#39;s the product you need. it costs this much.&quot; So DIY solutions are going to be a big part of the trailer workshop. <br>
<br>If anyone has plans or pictures for a home made trailer, we would love to include them in the workshop. Even if you don&#39;t have plans, but have some good photos which will allow us to reengineer them, we&#39;d love it. Especially no-weld, mostly bike part trailers, since bike parts are pretty easy for us to come by. <br>
<br>Thanks! <br><br>Again, I&#39;ll post up the pdf once I get it. We&#39;ve also got a very loose curriculum that we can share. Email me off the list and I&#39;m happy to share that with anyone who wants.  It&#39;s basically an outline of the class. <br>
