bikes at work

our bike... doing a day's work without having to move a vehicle feels good. Sadly it doesn't happen that often.

Don't ask about the bamboo!

Hard to top the chipper, mind you. Gotta respect it!

Ok maybe it's just me but I something funny came to mind in a picture form. Can you see someone on a bike trying to pull a much larger chipper than the one here. Say you rig up a hitch and try to pull around even a small bc65. That'd be one hell of a workout before you even got to the job unless it was all down hill which you better have some good breaks on that bad boy.

Hi. You have quite the interesting set up there. You deffinetly opened my eyes to somthing I have never witnessed or even imagined that someone out there in this world was doing. Good on ya. Makes you think how much we take for granted jumping in a truck and heading off to work. I commute over an hour each way to work most days, and thats after I have driven to the shop. No fear of me riding my bike that far but good for you. Thanks for the eye opener

notahacker. That is most definitly India for you. Crazy as hell. However, count the number of people going through that intersection in that 2 minutes and 15 seconds. I gaurantee you there is no intersection in the US that moves that many people through an intersection that fast. There is no intersection that can move that many people with that amount of gas either. Those "Bhajaj" inclosed scooters are cool as hell. Basically a two cycle 020 chainsaw motor running those things, (not good for the air granted). They also make them in a one cylinder diesel which gets 140 miles a gallon. They make flatbed scooters that haul unbelievable loads.

PU, I have thought about ways to haul a larger chipper, The key is to be well balanced, have skinny tires, and I think it is very feasible to set a rig in which two or more bikes do the pulling. Its fun to think about.

Mark, that bike is pimp. it almost looks custom made.

How about we arrive on bikes (I live on the prairies) with climbing gear and saws on board. Do the cutting work, leave the branches and wood in neat piles, and we call it job complete. We either arrange 1800 GOT JUNK to haul it away or the customer deals with the wood however they wish. Then we would truely be able to be arborists not truckers.
