Feb 2007 - still mocking up a new juicego with camping blender , subcontracting the kickstand, recruiting spokespeople, do drop a line. Outdoor garden juicing just around the corner... had a bit of nippi weather this year.. The Design mission statement is a machine to connect blender, juicer, grain mill, meat grinder toolsets; all on a field adaptor, not requiring welding. so far so good. A "pully hooked in place of handle" doesn't cut it. Just like your effort, tangent handle pushing evens out the bearing wear. Juicycle allows quick tool changeouts. This green unit is now at Bruces' *see below* My personal use prototype has all plexiglas top, 20 pounds of old bike chain threaded thru the big wheel, a steel spoke secondary wheel, racing cranks, toe straps, all as a flour mill and juicer. The umbrella is a great addition on the hot gilroy weather. The nylon secondary makes for quieter action.

Jan 2007 - completed a mockup using aluminum box shapes, and a smaller auxillary wheel. the aluminum juicego, and streamlined mounting is in the works, building juicego1, a three spd huffy prototype. Recruiting agents for home and garden event displays; world community event demonstrations .

Sept 2006 - huffy launched, but not in time for bike-to-work week. I retrieved the bike church Classic, used twice, declared undesired clutter in the new yard. *sigh* Moved said unit to Bruce Bundy's backyard. Way appreciated. Did discover a new insight and improvement; the total weight is way down. part count too. Retired the red system. Step thru is way better for this. Giant motorcycle seat on cromo seatpost. groovy. Kayak trailer in the works doubles as produce ice chest.

May 2006 -. new juicego gizmo premiered at the farmers market at Harry's Growing Cycles bike valet spot. very lowkey. I can do with a much better seat. I do have an antique a step-thru bike frame would be easier to deal with. same with 'apehanger' handlebars ... the padding on the semi-recumbant: laid back 'classic' juicycle above, in garden ..soft, cushy. jute and fiberfill. lots of drain for the outdoor drenching.don't ferget... up and rolls around like any good wheelbarrow!

Oct 2005 - this is the red monster... drove it over to the Specia lized offices that sponsored the Morgan Hill leg of the Bonafonte Garden Harvest Ride-Cycling Event. One comment from a well - traveled barbarian there was: " carbon fiber "IT" and "IT" will sell ... ah well the aluminum renditions are coming along... *sigh* 6/05 update: decommissioned this red juiceGo proto. The 'step thru' style much easier for all around evrything.

Jan 2003 first prototype 'wheel barrow' - ed around the bike church santa cruz lot . we believe the niche market will beholden us as the world warms to the charms. there's coffee fanatics, there's tea connoisors, wine snobs; now i must introduce the most interesting garden tool subset:

juicycle - fresh garden liquid nourishment with 'little effort' .. what a concept!

The first visualization was a pedal-powered compost chipper thing about 1979. Built three chain-drive juicer/ 'pedal shop' and 'corn mill' devices before sleeking the running gear as the 'aux wheel' style. One is still at the homeless garden near natural bridges state park, one on Ocean Extension. This one is a wood lathe and grindstand; is in my shed/shop. Estimated spindle speed =3500 rpm . That is 45 lb of 3/4 inch diameter tractor chain around the flywheel. Whopping torque. Have not finished a chipper composter yet.

jan 2000 the first- and now-missing juicego. Built on Austrian (Sears) step-thru, 3 speed with mountain front wheel. seen it?
