I finally built the front wheel for my 1x1.
Now I just gotta build the rear and I’ll have a cool bike to lean against a wall and never ride!

1 in a 1000 as it turns out. Still kinda crazy. I bought the first set from a LBS and the second set from Jimmy.

Which is better than it used to be 24 years ago

I emailed a sailboat sail repair shop to ask if they’d fix my cargo bike canopy. I hope they say yes, I’d much rather get the thing fixed locally.

My BIL got his fixed at a place in Portland for very little money. In case you need a backup.

Seems like a good excuse to buy a burly sewing machine

Was that Mountain Soles?

I don’t think so. This was somewhere with a physical storefront on the east side of the river if I recall. Texting my BIL to ask, but he’s notoriously bad at communication.

An upholstery shop (either furniture or car/boat seats) might be another local option.

Sail shop was a no.
I reached out to the maker, but upholstery shop sounds like it might be the ticket!

He got back to me - BlaqPaks

That’s who made mine.
They said they’d fix it, but now I dunno, maybe I should just buy another one. I don’t really want to be without a canopy. I rely pretty heavily on the thing and I’m sure their turnaround for a repair won’t exactly be lightening quick.
I could buy a new one and then send the old one to be repaired when the new one arrives and then eventually have a spare I guess. But that seems ridiculous, the thing ain’t cheap.

Then you’ll have 2 canopies
Which means you’ll have to build another bike around them

Don’t do this. I did. I love them but goddamn me time is now non-existent.

that was sarcasm. I barely have a cat, and it’s a little much for me sometimes

I think I’d rather have one kid and two canopies.
