Abstract: A system for lineally transporting logs, lugs therefor, and an associated method are provided. The system includes first and second tracks that are machined and connected to a frame to provide continuous track surfaces. The first track, which is formed of portions that are keyed to the frame, defines a nonlinear cross section. Lugs having support surfaces that correspond to the track surfaces are configured to be driven longitudinally along the tracks, and the non-linear contour of the first track prevents the lugs from moving transversely. The track portions are machined to define track surfaces, and the first track portions are keyed to the frame so that the first track portions are substantially collinear and the first track surface is uniform and continuous in the longitudinal direction of the track, thereby reducing transverse motion of the log during transport.

Abstract: A protective cover is provided for a bicycle or the like. The cover is adapted for use with several types of bicycles, such as multispeed road, hybrid or mountain bikes, for protective purposes. The cover has side wall members extending over and substantially covering the side of the wheel and tire portions of the bicycle. The cover also a center panel which is mounted extending between the side wall members to fit over and cover the seat and handlebars. The center panel is shaped for use with various seat and handlebar arrangements. The cover may also be provided with a cover sleeve or fitting for aero bars, the arm rests or weight supports provided for use with bicycles in competitive cycling events.
