#fire is always interesting.. this one was in a #dumpster behind our #warehouse #studio in #eastvan.. and when we lived there, that alley was the ‘second worst’ in N. America.. great stats.. and great #entertainment along that slicer of #asphaltevia Instagram https://instagr.am/p/DN3Wn_8YhcY/

DUDE!!!! thise are my #footprints #inside my boat.. inside the #cockpit.. felt like Niel Armstrong touching toe to TheMoon.. one small step for @mr.oceancyclist.. one large step for #sustainability .. might not be #viralworthy but it meant heaps to me after all this time!via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/DN2JSjR3JRp/

#new #gear set up.. with a mind towards low wattage consumption, each item is USB powered, low drain. So, if I’m using these all day long, i should still only be needing less than 100W of power— and thats totally within my #generating #ability !!via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/DN07MAT3sH-/

back when *we* launched our handcraft co., we did hand painted kids shirts.. i used the process to make #handpainted ecoshirts.. gearing up for a return trip to #yyc soon to work on #theboat.. #settingsail in #2026 ?!?!via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/DN0suXaYl73/

Bleeding Ear, circa 1997.. part of my ‘broken lens’ exhibit in #kelowna.. looking back over the years of being #ethical .. my fave moments have been when #creating and when #cyclingvia Instagram https://instagr.am/p/DNw1F_XXKnW/

just two guys talking, one is left standing today.. the world lost a great musician this morning and while i havent seen James Bowers in quite a few years.. it still brings back mortality and tears when a friend passes. God Speed, you crazy diamond, James.. have a good flight.via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/DNwaOHQwpIu/

back in the day.. my #apartment #furnishings was… a great #conglomeration of #bikesvia Instagram https://instagr.am/p/DNuFAZA4rPn/

The #transmission..
I’ve #pirated the rear end of a #garyfisherbikes #Joshua X-1.. it’s called a “URT” or.. Unified Rear Triangle as the Bottom Bracket (where the crank arms meet) and the Rear Hub are connected in one rigid triangular configuration that is, then, floated against the mainframe by a pivot point and shock.

**but.. GEARS on a boat?**
I decided to use gears because our bodies go through physiological changes in energy levels throughout the day so, while I might not be pushing up hills, I want to make powered progress through pedaling all day long.. the gears mean that when I’m energized, I can flip it to 9th and CHUNDER.. and when I’m gassed.. I can slip it in to first and still be pushing my boat forward!

So, the trick is.. to build a solid enough mount that the URT is fixed nice and sturdy- like to the cockpit floor. I see “pouring epoxy” in my future.

and pouring cement for the counterweight ;)via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/DNd2aD4S8Dw/
