THE AQUA-CYCLE
Looking
for something exciting in the way of a pioneering project? Well,
here's the very thing, an Aqua-Cycle. It can be used for a lot of
things, including water races, rescues, for water tours or bikes and
even as a tow vehicle.
The Aqua-Cycle first appeared in the Scout publication of the
Netherlands, Leidersbiad, and, through the kindness of a
Dutch Canadian lady who works in a store near National Headquarters,
we were able to have the article translated.
Some of the preparatory work on the project will have to be done at
home, possibly during the winter, but the pioneering end is a
natural for a camp activity. The small paddles on the back wheel are
metal and must be soldered in place, while the rudder can he cut
from a piece of plywood. The watertight drums can be secured from a
service station or scrap yard and someone in the neighbourhood is
bound to have an old bicycle frame lying around. One other piece of
advice: the wood supporting the front wheel must be lashed very
tightly.
