Bike rack Lao style

 I have been looking for a bike that I could take Kinyin on the back. The roads are a little chaotic for him to ride by himself even if I could locate a bike to fit. So I decided to put a rack on the back of the bike I use at the guest house. Locating a bike rack in Luang Prabang was not a easy task - unlike Adelaide where their is a cycle shop on every corner not one to be found here. So in desperation I started asking at motor bike repair shops and eventually found someone who was game to try




 I ended with a custom built rack which was intended for a motor bike - as you can see it needed some fine adjustment which only can be achieved with a angle grinder



 Little bit more fine tuning



And the final product - pleased to report that Kinyin has now spent couple of hours on the back as we go exploring the town and surround villagers.
