Let's set the record straight, I have no issues with the four other people that live in my home. They're the best. I have an awesome wife and three incredible kids that I love more than anything the world can offer. There is one issue with the kids, though. They're getting bigger. A few years ago for my birthday, Angie got me a trailer to haul the kids around with my bike. At this point, it has been an awesome investment.
But a couple weeks ago, I bundled up my four-year-old, Bliss, and tossed her in the trailer for a run to the library. (I use the word "toss" very loosely. It was more of a cram, push, stretch and shove.) She no longer fits in this thing. I'll have to move on to the next scenario. Which is... Hmmm.
I can tell you what I want it to be.
For now I think I'll be eyeing the Xtracycle for one of my existing bikes. Hopefully it will suffice until I strike oil in my backyard.
Until then, the kids are gonna have to scootch in.
I would like a Big Dummy. But I can't justify it when I have an Xtracycle that works perfectly good. It works so well, I may not be getting a BD for a very long time. The great thing about choosing to upgrade one of your current bicycles to an Xtracycle is you're recycling a bike you perhaps may not have used much otherwise.
ReplyDeleteI hear you, Doug. My buddy is selling a Kona Smoke 2-9 for really cheap. It's a decent frame that will run 29" wheels which I like. I'm curious how the larger wheel size will work with the Xtra. But any xtracycle longbike would be great. My bike shop is running the Kona Ute on clearance. But I want something with plug-in features.
