A customer contact us frustrated that she isn't meant to be with an X'. She's got a Trek 7300 700c black 15" ladies hybrid mounted to a near mint Xtracycle....
Here are a couple of links to a small wheel IGH cargo bike that is basically two big shopping baskets. IMO ugly but it may be practical. I believe the one...
It's got nowhere near the flexibility of an xtracycle. Basically, you can only carry whatever you can fit into the baskets. Admittedly, this will accommodate...
Granted it's not as practical or versatile as an X but it could be useful in some situations, particularly carrying a lot of small things in a huge bag or...
One thing this bike does have is a wheelbase closer to that of a regular bike. An impediment for a lot of folks I talk to about my FreeRad converted bike is...
Matthew, I installed some Odyssey (sp?) fork pegs on my BD's v-racks after seeing them in use online. Since these things are old-school BMX add-ons, they're...
I made some from steel angle with an old inner tube over it strapped to my V-racks with hose clamps. They don't fold out of the way, but they aren't really in...
I bought some new cargo bling for my trusty Big Dummy. The new bits are improvements on the old parts they replace. My BD looks so new I don't recognize...
Hey, I have a Kona Ute as well and while I haven't put foot pegs on that bike yet, I just put "foot pegs" on my Big Dummy for my daughter to use when we go to...
All those baskets give the bike a wide profile. I can see it taking up as much width as the x takes up length. CL who thinks all work bikes need fenders....
I thought I remembered from years ago that motorcycle clamp-on folding footpegs used to be common. A Google search turned up some from JC Whitney. They are...
I would add that you want to be careful clamping to V rack or H rack tubing as that is thin wall aluminmum I believe. Motorcycle round frame and "safety bars"...
Just an update to my happy costumer case: the nice folks at xtracycle shipped my baseframe the next day after it broke down. They had to use FedEx since USPS...
You know, with the weather here lately, that waterproof inner pocket looks damn attractive. I lost a tool to rust after last winter, and I've resorted to...
I emailed the designer and in his reply he indicated the pictured bike is a prototype. He is looking for a manufacturer for it. I hope that he does not run...
Rich, I was going to say all bikes, but then started thinking of too many exceptions to make the remark pithy. Yeah, they all need lighting, too. CL who sees...
I don't want to clog up this list with commercial BS, but in case anyone is interested, I thought I'd give you folks a heads-up about this. Feel free to check...
I'm 6 feet tall. Do you think I'd be better off with a 20"? Seriously, how much would it cost to send it to Brazil (Sao Paulo, zip code 05596-100) even if by a...
I bought a pair of foldable pegs off of ebay. They were less than $20 shipped. They are sturdy and heavy. I just used innertube wrapped over the v-rack to...
I'm 6' and happily ride an 18". Go to the Surly website and use the listed frame sizes to determine what TT length you need and buy that size frame. Ignore...
Great, thanks for the info. I have followed the discussions on sizing before in this group. I've also checked the surly site but it's quite difficult to be...
Harris Cyclery is now taking orders on the Alfine 11 hub. It looks like $660 with shifter, higher than I expected. They claim to expect them in on 12 Nov, so...
I definitely think an 18" would probably be fine for a 6' person... I'm a few inches shorter than that, but I have a fairly long stretch to the handlebars. It...
OK, so this is early Christmas for me indeed! I have just put my anxious fingers on a brand new replacement for my baseframe and will be riding again my...
Thanks for doing your part to ride more and drive less, Fred and others. "The bicycle is a curious vehicle. Its passenger is its engine." – John Howard Web...
Amazon currently has this taillight for $21.02. List on the PDW web site is $32. It is considerably brighter than the Planet Bike Superflash (PBSF) and has a...
Rich - I've been using a couple Radbot 500's for a few months now. I tried them because of the reflectors - they are a legal requirement here. The 500's are ...
After the $19 shipping plus customs, it is a bit expensive coming into the US. For Canadians that looks like a nice store. Â --- On Sun, 11/7/10, Vik Banerjee...
