Trans woman on a weird bike.

I build and ride strange-but-practical bikes, do occasional fiber crafts, try to make interesting things & fix broken things, read way too much fiction, and sometimes write it as well.

Who remembers bicycle sidecars? :blobfoxgoogly: (Photo source: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bundesarchiv_Bild_102-12561,_Berlin,_Fahrrad_mit_Beiwagen.jpg)

@tk Interesting to me that the more modern-looking one seems to be a fixed sidecar (effectively a tricycle for handling purposes) while the older one appears to allow the bicycle to lean into corners at least a little. It does surprise me that they put the attachment points in the second one at different heights. I'd expect that to cause wheel scrub if the bike or the road is tilted. I wonder how it actually handles?
