By chance, an hour ago, while testing out the Drain Brain,
I came across a bike and trailer.
I asked the owner, would he mind my photographing the trailer?
In Jamaican lilt, "I surely don't mind; in fact you're most welcome."
I made a video interview on the spot.

I can only upload the shorter of the two takes this early
(upload woes)

Mr. Anderson grants permission to share his video on the web.
(YouTube really compresses things. It was an 8mb file upload...)
Bonus: He did not realize that my ride is electric until I started to leave.
"My bike is worn out. It's time I bought a new bike. Your bike looks like the kind I should get. It looks strong"
(he still didn't know it's self propelled).
"Electric?? Oh, show me!"
(I powered it in a circle)
"Oh, man! I will buy a bike just like that.
I'm ready, now where do I get one?"
I think that a Mongoose like Michael just bought will be ideal for Joe.
He has to haul that heavy trailer home at the end of every workday.
I pointed out to Joe that his trailer can easily contain two used car batteries in series
"I know about hooking up batteries and making things like that".
IMO, Mr. Anderson could not be better off, for less money spent,
than with one of these Currie bikes from, say the local Walmart,
if any are to be found there.
I'll have to check.
Whatever, he'll front me the money if we have to get a bike online.
I will gladly set it up and tweak the thing for a smile.
He has lots of smiles now.
He's so looking forward to this. He said nice things about me...
so! Don't any of you dare dare disabuse him of his misconception, ok?
:wink:
A nice day for all concerned.
