As I've mentioned before in another posting, this appears to be a Seattle-only phenomenon. Pulling wooden hydroplanes behind a bike mimics the real thing in bizarre ways, only without the extreme expence of actually racing on the water. Heck, they even float...David is never satisfied with just one hydroplane either. He must have two, so they can race each other (he's very innovative). The following video shows him in the midst of "The Cul De Sac Cup" and ultimately being chased by neighbor Rachel. I love watching this, because it reminds me of being 9 years old and pulling some scrappy piece of plywood behind my banana seat bike in Shoreline. For some reason lately I'm being drawn to them again, and David ends up hauling all the boats I build (with the exception of a few that I'm putting a lot of detail into).
More on these wooden wonders in later blog posts!
