Headaches Begin
It was an early day from the get go, but I was confident that we could accomplish a lot since all of yesterday (Saturday) was spent gathering the material we needed for the project. Oh how naive I was at this point in the project. I had figured that the drawings I made to cut out the legs were going to speed the work along, which it did, however I hadn't put much thought into the overall mechanics of the bicycle that was going to sit in center of the drum.
The Bicycle above was constructed using two different bike frames and we reused the pedals instead of going with a new set to fit inside of the barrel.
First Assumption: Bike pedals that rested in the frame were level and rotated on the same axis
My first assumption had been wrong with the alignment of the pedals. Sadly this was apparent after having mounted the bike into the drum. That quickly changed the optimism of the day. Now the time spent trying to incorporate the original pedal system into the project will have to be scrapped and more time spent on many unknowns.
