For some reason, the only thing that comes to mind is Star Wars themed. Like an X Wing Fighter, or one of those land speeder cycles when they were in the...
Not Xtracycles, but if you look on Yahoo Groups for PPV (people powered Vehicles) you will find photos of 5 (FIVE) PPVs together in a parade last saturday....
I have several Rocky Mounts bike racks and last year I shelled out the big bucks for their Tandem Rack (~$300, I believe). The benefit that the tandem rack...
Here's a pic of mine... http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SoQ7WQjmEhg/SiL_XCKZIlI/AAAAAAAABbY/rrRZRyb7aIU/s1600-h/05-31-09_1155.jpg ... on a normal length Thule bike...
On my way into the office this morning (after I had dropped off the kids), my custom double kid seat snapdeck replacement ejected itself off my BD's back end...
Ahhh, no, Scott! This is just a very serious reminder to fully secure your custom kid seats to your V-racks/FreeRadical frames. Thankfully your boys weren't...
Rick, Thanks for your concern. Since the boys were not in their seats at the time, their added weight was not holding the seat tightly down. I will sheepishly...
Let me rephrase the question... Has anyone tried the xtracycle bike blender with the kickback stand? Does the kickback stand extend down enough to keep the...
... I'm not a blender, but I do own a Kickback. You aren't going to be able to blend this way. It does extend far enough down to lift the rear wheel off the...
I used to be really into making "thorough" costumes for Halloween, but then I started organizing my annual Cranksgiving charity bike race, which runs the...
Scott, Having the extra weight of a passenger does not necessarily mean the snap deck will remain in place when hitting a bump! When I was still living in...
Fred, You said, "if you buy 2 cores you can secure it to the rack." From my understanding when a bike is loaded on the Rocky-Mount tray and a single locking...
I just run it with one lock...I have both the pitchfork and the lariat recumbent...If my memory serves me right you can install dual locks, but in the same...
Thanks! That's exactly what I wanted to know. On the other hand, since the kickback attaches to the bike in exactly the same place the rock-steady stand...
... First, let me say that my Yakima Viper recumbent-length rack is mounted to the roof rack of our old AWD Astrovan, taller than most minivans or the RAV4....
Hi Scott, That's pretty scarry! Glad your kids where already dropped off.. I too have a custom tandem kid seat setup with front/rear Whatchamacollars and...
Yeah I can vouch for the whatchamacollars. My deck used to fall off the Dummy all the time, but with those things on, hasn't happened once. I got 4; spendy but...
Whilst the Kickback and the Rock Steady attach at the same point, they are quite different in their application. The Kickback levers the vertical forces DOWN...
Hi,all: Just wanted to share a little plug for the Xtracycle that was written about our family. The Xtracycle picture appeared in the paper version, but for...
Great story, Chris! And I enjoyed your blog. Very inspiring. I'd love to hear how you hacked the child seat on. Did you just cut off the legs? (and how??)...
Hi, Jennifer, We had an inexpensive BELL brand kid seat and cut the legs off with a mini-saw and then mounted it to the snap deck with 3 bolts. I can...
I did roughly the same thing with my Co-Pilot Taxi seat though I mounted right behind the saddle so I didn't have to cut off the legs. I was a bit worried...
I'm glad you got a nice sturdy setup. I'll probably need to do something like that. I was really excited when I first got my kickback. I wasn't so excited the...
I e-mailed RockyMounts to find out some tech specification to determine whether or not their Lariat 60" Recumbent/Xtracycle roof rack would be compatible with...
Anthony, Thanks for the concern. I like your custom snapdeck--did you find a couple of cheapie kid seats to use? I've got a nice Topeak Baby Seat that will...
To everyone asking about the Rocky Mount compatability... I finally had a chance to test out my extended tray Rocky Mount on my BD yesterday. I have a Thule...
