borrowed a Lite F/X bubble machine from a friend. Went to the Rocklin Jubilee & pedaled around making bubbles for everyone. Made alot of kids happy & a few...
Hi all, Is there anyone in NYC/westchester/putnam county with an X out there that would be willing to give us a spin? we are trying to decide whether it would...
Hi there - I have one in Stamford, CT. You're welcome to test ride her. -Brian ... that would be willing to give us a spin? ... to school every day, about 3...
Cool, Now that you've tried the strapped down bubble blaster approach, how did you like the dynamic of it? Did you want to be able to turn it on and off while...
Make sure you have the footsies on it - they make a difference. A rear handlebar is usually nice too. I routinely carry both my 4-yr old and my 8-yr old at the...

I think the time to replace the wear-able bits of my Xtracycle's drivetrain has come, but I'm not sure how much chain is needed. I know that the specific...
... I don't think it quite that much, but it's definitely more than 1 and less than 2. If you want to know precisely, you can current chain's links OR measure...
Technically I am a new X owner. I have made the nut on my X but they won't have any in for a month yet. drat! So, for you who think all cyclists are 20...
Welcome, Mark! I think you will find that many of us are not 20 something (I'm mid-40s myself). Good idea to bring your bike on your road trips. It's amazing...
Normally the amount of chain required for a bike is quite simple. Put the chain on the large front cog, and on the large rear one, not running through the...
I almost never turned it off!! The thing ran like a champ & literally did it least 50 laps around the park! I was a non-stop bubble making machine! ... ...
i ride in 109 degree weather. While others are hiding in Air conditioned rooms, I'm out & about in my favorite way. I love that everytime I ride I can always...
About 4 years ago I saw my first Xtracycle conversion. I had to have one. I am parsimonious by nature so I started looking for a "good deal". Within a few...
I am one of those cheap bast........um....frugal people too. I am always looking for bikes to fix up. I went ahead and ordered an X from the company and have...
i got my FreeRadical for $50, un-used, from a friend. he bought it, never found the time to install it, then had to purge his possessions for a cross-country...
Well, I am so pumped about the XtraCycle that I am thinking seriously about selling my WizWheels Trike. I have a 3.6 which is a great trike, but the X is a...
That is an excellent idea, but In all honesty, I am trying to sell the trike. I have run into a fairly serious crisis and need some ready cash. Know anyone...
I don't have my Xtracycle yet - actually waiting to order until a gentleman comes to pick up a cherry corner cupboard I'm selling not only to pay for the...
funny how a utility/useful bike seems to defy convention in my minds eye, it seems to me that the market for a utility bike had disappeared my fancy road bike...
Nice story, Anne. Don't forget, 3 bikes still take up less space than one car! For what it's worth, I have bicycled on my men's style road bike in a skirt, ...
... I keep telling my wife that! But then she asks why the car sits outside and my bikes are all in the garage! By the way, clothing on a bike is an...
Yes I know Justine but I don't need 3... :) Glad you get to get your tomorrow! I can elegantly mount any bike in a skirt - my Giant has an angled top tube as...
Anne, I know lots of people who like skorts (skirts with hidden shorts). Seems like they kind of defeat the purpose of the pleasant freedom of a skirt, but...
... so do I! HAH! well, he isn't a LAWYER, but the same idea. Oddly enough when he started ranting to me about how "riding bicycles was a socialist plot to...
Hmmmm, Looks like I will have to revert to my ancestry and fine me a skirt.....um....kilt! Mark, the wild scott (and oddly enough William Wallace was one of my...
Justine, I have one - a few more would be fine but I hate spending $50 which seems to be the going price. Time to haul out the sewing machine again. And I need...
