Update: Ivan finally conceded he's too busy at work to do the coupler machining. So this week we'll be taking the parts to a machinist we know to finish them up. The project lurches forward again.

In related news, the Ontario government is set to announce that electric bicycles (up to 500w) will become legal to ride on public roads beginning this week.
