I want to fix it, but I think doing so will take a couple things I don't have: knowledge and muscle.
I ran into a member of the "Friends of High Drive Trails" the other night and he suggested sending email to their listserv. I'll do it.

I don't like walking this section of trail. It must be corrected. Verily.
In other news, it looks like I'll be able to do the commute home-bound from Cheney on M-W-F afternoons, at least until the snow flies.
I rode the FLT home yesterday. That's not ideal, when there are so many great dirt roads between that burg and home. Bringing the CX bike today.
In final news, there's a pedal powered bar car thing here in Spokane. Looks interesting. I'm no weight-weenie, but seems like some pretty low-hanging weight reduction could be had pretty easily around the wheel and solid wood bits... Everyone's a critic though.

I rode a very similar pedal powered bar thing a while back and thought of the same weight reduction possibilities. Another thing is there are 12 seats but only 8 with cranks, and a non-pedaling crew of two, meaning that 6 of 14 people on board are inactive passengers. There is one gear and one seat height.
That said, it is pretty fun, but could definitely be improved from a mechanical standpoint. My experience here: http://bigdummydaddy.blogspot.com/2011/06/ride-on-pedal-hopper.html
Also, could the pedal tram run on the old tracks in West Central and (puff puff) up South Hill?
I mean before the city "improves" the tracks out of existence?
Less friction?
I believe the heavy weight of the vehicle is intentional. It makes a more stable ride. If it was not as heavy, it would rock back and forth alot especially when one side decided to pedal hard and other side coast.
