Us backyard inventors some up with all sorts of crazy things that works. Hell, the Wright brothers learned to fly. And this setup works very well, it goes faster than I can pedal, and better yet it zips right up hills. Next week I will test it on the steepest hill here but I’m sure it will do fine.It needs heavier tension springs and a lever to lift it off the wheel when I'm not using it and just pedaling but it's interesting how well it works. Really, it works great. And I can’t complain about what I expect to be about a hundred MPG. Motorized rigs are not allowed on the Olympic trail but it will come in handy at other times, and getting to and back home from the trail as it can be used both ways.
It goes about twenty miles an hour I think, I will mount my GPS unit on it to get accurate figures next week when I go on an out of town trip with it.
Actually, it was just an experiment, I’m moving on already, thinking about how to mount it on the back wheel of my girly bike. And planing my next three wheeler. A three wheeler that will do thirty to forty miles an hour and get one hundred MPG. Good enough for city driving.
Yes, you can already buy such rigs, but have you checked the prices? They are a of money and I built this one for very little. These could help save the planet, not that I’m assuming that some of you give a damn about saving the planet being as you are just a bunch of monkeys screwing around wanting more today and not caring about the future.
I suppose I had better paint that storage unit this summer. LOL
It was a great week here. I’ll go the peace protest today to top it off. Hugs…. BBC

I did say "maybe an all knowing all powerful force". Maybe Omnipresent would have been a better term.
Not too important though, it wasn't a personal dogma, just something I occasionally think about.
