Here is a shot of the G-Man on the back of our Xtracycle. He really likes riding on the back where he holds on to the stoker-style bar. He rests his feet on the seat stay of the Zize bike we used as a donor for the Xtracycle conversion. If his 10-year old sister is [...]

Xtracycle as a Snow Bike

I took the Xtracycle to the Lakefront looking for some slope winds. Forecast was good but the wind was too SE so I just enjoyed the ride on the Xtracycle-converted Zize bike. I rode on snow-covered roads, snowy grass (about 4 inches deep), slushy streets and wet pavement. The rear end of the bike seems to [...]

I took a trip to the Post Office leaded with 6 packages that had to be mailed out. It is pretty short trip to the PO, less than 2 miles round trip, so taking the Xtracycle is a natural! It was a nice day too, about 40 degrees, so I extended the ride a bit [...]

I tried out the new Bike There version of Google Maps to see what route it suggests to get from the Schlick Cycles shop to the Alterra Coffee Shop at the Bayshore Town Center.
The routes presented seem like good choices although, for some reason, it only suggests the Oak Leaf bicycle trail when going from [...]

Had a decent ride today. I did some quick business stops at the Post Office, Bank and Winkie’s and then did a 15-mile ride on my Simplified single speed. There was a pretty brisk North breeze blowing about 15mph.
I’d spend most of Saturday afternoon turning my Simplified frame from SuperFast prototype back into its intended [...]

Took about a 45-minute ride today in Milwaukee. 24F and 10mph NW wind. Actually, I should have ridden more since I was feeling good and warm but I had “other” things to do.
This wasn’t technically a transportation ride but the clothing info may be of some interest.
Today I went with the single thick wool sock [...]
