I really thought about doing the same. On top of bicycling, I own a renault twizy which is a really small electric car. I wanted to attach a sweeper on it because the bicycle lanes around me are always full of debris.
I found out that it's quite complicated to buy the "commercial" brushes for the sweeper, and thought instead of using a small pressure washer to sweep away the debris into the border.
Anyway, never had the time, but hopefully this winter I'll try to do something
- matsemann 3y agoWhile lots of cycling routes here in Oslo are "prioritized" when it snows, and it works fairly well, some times snow from the road instead gets pushed into the bike lanes. If you report that, nothing happens. My idea is to have a snow plow on a bike and push it back into the road. Then someone might care..
- sokoloff 3y agoIt seems like any amount of snow that would impede biking would be more than enough that you couldn’t push it back to the street with a bike. (We used to run a private plow truck and it would use a surprising amount of fuel in a 10-hour day of plowing.)
- matsemann 3y agoYeah, probably true. But the concern often isn't the snow itself, it's when it later freezes. Then it's too late to plow it, and the rugged and uneven slippery surface is impossible to bike on.
