i've moved to Ventura to spend time with my 88 year old grandparents. being that i havent had a car for the last 3yrs, i havent had car insurance there for i...
... Yep! and it is more than JUST that too! But that has been hashed so many times as to be beyond discussion, but yes! BTW - even though I called myself...
Well my first wideloader came Monday so I can get my stuff to the art fair on Friday. I'm going to do a trial pack tonight to see how it's all going to work....
Sounds like ou are having a great time! :-) WideLoaders are awesome. Just remember it is easy to "catch" your heel when starting off. Get on your bike with...

... Mark, How are you coming on your propaganda sheet? :) BTW, I can't find the 11 questions bit on the Xtracycle site. Do you have a link or a document you...
Remember to watch out for those bollards they put around bike paths and pedestrian areas to stop cars driving through. Some of them around here are only just...
OK, hang on Ken, I will try to find a copy and either send it to you or copy it here. I have not done much because between illnesses in teh family (my son in...
The catch you heel thing has caught me a time or two as well. And REALLY watch the clearance to the wideloaders, they stick out there a ways! You can go...
So far I know of only one set of bollards on any of my routes - but then we don't have many bike paths! But I know what you are talking about. I'll need to...
I couldn't find the text online anywhere, so for posterity, here are the 11 answers in the little cards that ship with the freerad. The one I'm copying has...
I'm pretty sure I remember someone from Xtracycle (a while back) saying that they would send some of those little pamphlets out to anyone who asked. Just drop...
One thing that I also carry around with me is a laminated copy of state vehicle code regarding bicycles. A lot of questions come up about what is legal and...
Hey all, time to mine your collective wisdom. The first, regarding frames: Today at an auction of abandoned bikes from my campus, I picked up a '93 Specialized...
1) Go steel! 2) I too only have experience with the Currie. Look into the Cyclone motor to see if you can get them yet. Stokemonkey is prerty darn good,...
Wow, I always wanted a Yo Eddy! Great bike. I have a "racing-oriented" steel bike (it's one of the lighter Tange tubesets -- an Interlock frame) for my...
Hi Mark, If you want lighter batteries for the Currie, try a battery pack from ebikes.ca. I got one of their NiMH 24v packs and it has worked perfectly with...
I like the BionX a LOT. (I also sell these and many other systems). The PL-350 has plenty of torque, despite the comment of "low power" (stated 350W versus...

Yeah, not to be overly morbid here, but Josh's (my youngest daughter's husband) Father became suddenly ill a few days ago and it has become a systemic...
... first. I have had my USPD for about 2 years and so far it seems to be pretty good. Fool proof and reliable. My biggest gripe is the non availability of...
Hi Mark, No need to convince me of the general case for steel. My road bike is steel, a Lemond Buenos Aires from before the Carbon era. I went out of my way...
My free radical is attached to a 90's steel Kona Fire Mountain. I haven't ridden an aluminum X, so I can't compare. My usual cargo is 120 lbs of children,...
... I have one of those frames in the basement. It was an Xtracycle once. Someday it may be again, especially if I get around to repainting it from the...
Some of the flexiness remarked on may not be the bike and free-radical, but the way the load was packed. I've a stokemonkey with the huge batterypack. When I...
