I'm trying for a quick sweep so we can figure out how to get some good coverage of the network, leafblower is moderately useful, something needs to unstick the piles of junk though
@enobacon Nice. Having a clear & intact roadway is just part of the battle. Can’t tell you how many times my bike discovered a giant hole that my spine did not appreciate. The sides of most roadways around here are full of debris & parts from motor vehicles (including glass). Even if you ride in the lane off to the right, it’s helpful to have a few feet of clear space to avoid stuff & oversize trucks etc.
rear view / results. I hope this scrubbed-loose stuff will dry out. The stuff I went over yesterday was looking pretty good even after/because it rained last night.
@enobacon I was thinking about this the other day while I was out and about. Obviously it won't work on ice. But did you get a chance to test it out when the snow was still powder?
@Karstan I don't have it right now, don't know if it was tested but it would probably cake up. They're working on a side sweeping model that might be useful for that (but you wouldn't want to leave bare asphalt under the ice, that would make it slicker.)
@enobacon Yeah, I was thinking along those lines. I was wondering what a little plow attachment might look like but I'm not sure it would work for 2 wheels?
@Karstan would need to be a tow behind plow, which I've been thinking would also get some use vs the leaf piles I was fighting in November. There's also the zigo trike though, if I could find a good way to motorize it, the front frame would offer some nice mounting options.
