At the end of last year right before it got “cold”, or what the locals feel is cold (38 degrees or so), my wife managed to break my sons bike trailer, she was trying to avoid a person in the side walk, while avoiding a very fast and congested avenue, she went in to the grass but events that were not in her hands made her flip her bike and tip the trailer, luckily they are made very well to protect the kids, so my son was just fine. Yet the clamp that connects the trailer arm to my bike is done for, making it a big piece of paper weight with wheels. So am looking for a trailer. With the economy in the US as bad as it is, the value of a gas free mode of transportation for my son is priceless. My job has been atrociously slow, I have been working less than half of my normal pace, and I always considered that pace to be too slow and not very well paid anyway. So if things don’t change soon for the best, and people start using our service, there is going to be a point where it will be impossible for me to keep my son in his day care school, making it impossible for me to work in the day. Thus making me loose my job. At that point a pedicab job will be welcomed maybe combined with a job in a bike shop. Since I could work at night and making it possible to care for my son in the day.
Am seeing this possible scenario coming at me like a freight train.
We will see.
