I'm moving back to Ventura, Ca this month my dad will be 62 mid month and my grandfather 88. I've been away from home for 20 yrs now. so its off to Ventura. ...
Did someone mention Kona's 2008 cargo bike, which they are calling the "Ute"? The name sounds familiar, but I do not remember seeing a picture of it. Here is a...
The first thing that struck me when I saw that picture of the ute was the size of the bags. It has that wonderful big cargo rack and on it they have a little...
It is funny! I think riding a bike does something for you! I have had people say the same thing about me! One very attractive woman at the Farmers Market...
yeah, I agree! I LOVE the Freeloaders and my GOD how much stuff can you pack into them if you add the wideloaders! This is where i think Surly has it right....
Ummmmm, call me STUPID or something.....but I had this problem. I got a bike from Freecycle and built it up, then put the Xtracycle on it. and my electric...
Yeah, I did that, but I didn't beat myself up very much about it. Eventually, I got a pair of in-line-travel-agents (a leverage converter) to fix my problem....
HEH! I wasn't all THAT upset, just amazed that I had been so unobservant! Arrrgh. just frustrated eh? Sort of like when you can't figure out why something...
Nah, Mark. He's WAY too young. I'm not happy with my mountain bike though or rather I guess my bike shop. I have a Giant Iquana that the xtra is going on. I...

... I ride high-pressure near-slicks on my Trek 6500 Xtracycle. Some Bontrager things my LBS carried with kevlar belts. Great on the street with pretty low...
I'm pretty sure I had Velociraptors on it but it's been so long I don't remember. And it's my fault for not questioning the shop when I got it back. I'd had a...
I run Schwalbe Big Apple, 26 x 2.3, 60 psi. They're nearly slick, not the best traction off-road, but they've got great (low) rolling resistance on-road. For...
When you say "trails", how rough/steep is that, anyway? I ask because I see many many mountain bikes sold that never seem to make it onto non-flat non-paved...
That's why it had good tires on it before I took it to the shop. The trails are steep and knarly in spots and I will admit that after I attach the X I won't be...
... I am not sure that big and springy is wrong for the X, but your earlier mail made it sound like your new tires were big and squishy instead. The tires I...
No disc brakes. Down the road if I upgrade the bike I'll definitely add the disc but for right now this will have to do. These brakes he put on feel good -...
... I think what's posted on Kona's site is pretty preliminary. There's more info over on Bike Hugger: <http://bikehugger.com/2007/08/more_on_konas_ute.htm> ...
Looking at the two sites, and looking at the picture, and considering our recent discussion on tires, I think one problem with this bike is that it might not...
