Broomsticks are just the right size.Northmarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12655788565660714552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4844065586392095541.post-57425186044232219832010-06-15T20:58:26.392+02:002010-06-15T20:58:26.392+02:00Makes sense, although I guess you need the board u...Makes sense, although I guess you need the board underneath to support the netting, which my Xtracycle doesn't have. Mind you, if I need to schlepp something that big I generally use the Bakfiets.

I subscribe to a couple of blogs that report the doings in Africa not because I want someone to feel sorry for but to learn.
