[itw02 at hampshire.edu]

hey do you have a design for this I could use? Oberlin Bike Co-op is in need of 
a sweet low cost trailer... perhaps it would be to hard to explain with text 
only?

> This Saturday, I am offering a bike cart building workshop for the 
> community. Part of my Div II and Div III has been to design a low cost 
> and low tech bike cart that can be built in communities to work towards 
> car independence.  The carts are made from metal tubing (thin-wall 
> electrical conduit) and are brazed together using an oxy-acetylene 
> torch.
> 
> In the workshop we will make 2 to 4 carts (depending on the time and 
> how much we want to have an assembly line) that will live at the House 
> Offices. They will be made available for anyone to use for grocery 
> shopping, moving from room to room, taking out the recycling, giving 
> friends rides....
> 
> We will be cutting tubes with hack saws, bending them with a conduit 
> bender, mitering joints (making them fit well) with a half-round file, 
> drilling a few holes, and brazing the tubes together with an 
> oxy-acetylene torch.
> 
> The workshop will be in the Lemelson Center on Hampshire Campus. To 
> participate you need to be either a 5-college student/professor or have 
> permission by Aaron and Donna. (It's about liability and insurance.)
> 
> 
> Call or email for more information and to sign up.
