In the past month I've taken part in two house moves using my cargo trike. Some of you may recall previous pedal frolics by our cycling group HPVOoO (http://hpv.tricolour.net). For the first one we moved kitchen appliances, and for the second one we moved entire house contents (it was only four blocks, but I did get to play tuba while riding!). First move: My video on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ri_IBVvGNHo Photos: http://tricolour.net/photos/2007/05/19/hpv.html More photos and video: http://picasaweb.google.com/RealGrouchy/RGBMove2k7 Second move: http://drumbent.blogspot.com/2007/06/house-move-by-pedal-power-again.html Also, my longest ride yet moving my drum gear by trike: http://drumbent.blogspot.com/2007/06/longest-trike-ride-yet.html Cheers, Mark

They have a photo of a fellow towing a boat with his: http://organicengines.com/wp-content/images/SUV_and_Pedicab/SUV_in_Action/Dave_w_boat.jpg Mark
