I’ve seen awnings in lots of places, including at the newly constructed building I work in?

This is for sure the closest I’ve seen so far and I’d have never found it without you. Thank you!

Also I’d love to see your sketches!!!

I’m not too concerned about bears since they’re very uncommon where I live (Northern Europe), but I was thinking fibreglass or possibly some special plywood with aluminium frame. I actually did some calculations on the weight of a frame and it’s pretty ok even with steel bars, especially if they’re hollow.

This was kind of my secret agenda here, happy it worked out!

Not a dumb question at all! Drum brakes on bikes seem to be almost universally single use, and I assume getting the spare parts for these would be even more difficult than getting new hubs if they existed.

I don’t think I’ve ever had that impression more strongly yeah. I’ll report back if I find something!

Meanwhile, me asking for spare parts for a few years old bike trailer: lol that’s the old model we don’t have the parts for that one
