Gear Recommendations (old)

Lolz

I think that when my kid figures out that she can take stuffed animals for rides, the Xtracycle is going to get really really crowded. Peppa and Boots and Minnie and Elmo all the other well-advertised characters will be cruising around the East Bay. I guess to keep this on the topic of gear recommendations: what carabiners are best for securing stuffed animals to cargo bikes?

Securing? F-that. This is your chance to thin the herd!

Seriously, my kid is pretty good at hanging on to shit when we’re riding.

Yeah, surprising strength and dexterity. On our last ride, my kid spent ten minutes poking me in the butt with a half-eaten granola bar. riding around with a bunch of stuffed animals would be a huge step up, dignity-wise.

I might mount a tiny basket behind the saddle in the saddlebag zone so he can put his drink in there or something.

I was thinking the same thing. I have an old Jandd saddlebag that I can lash to the railing, it would fit one of those teeny Kleen Kanteens pretty nicely.

triathlete bottle cage holder + cut-up bottles as cupholders/cargo storage?

edit: or mount it flipped and put a basket on top. I bet depending on what you need could be mounted to seat stays instead of saddle rail.

I wish my daughter could speak English so I could tell her that tickling my ass crack puts us both in danger

I have that Profile Design buttrocket water bottle holder (for long distance rides, not for tri). I tried it for kid drink storage, and liked the idea, but 1. they’re really grippy (which is good for pacelines, bad for toddlers) and 2. I need about 87cm of saddle-bb extension, my partner needs about 69cm, the lower position is not workable with the bottle holder. It’s a bummer, because it’s an otherwise good option for storing drinks and snacks. I think the “Hooptie” rails on the Xtracycle are too big for this particular mounting bracket http://store.velo-orange.com/index.php/accessories/water-bottles-cages/vo-handlebar-to-water-bottle-cage-mount.html but the general idea might work.
The kid generally seems happy to go anywhere, by any means of conveyance, as long as there’s a steady stream of snacks and drinks available. If I can sort that out, I can start taking her on the Wildcat-Bears loop or the Redwood-Pinehurst rodeo.

best all black fenders? 35mm

I bought the rapha padded undershorts before I saw what you guys said. Rapha seemed to have removed all non-positive reviews from the entire internet outside of tarck. It was my first rapha purchase and most likely my last.

I wore them for three days straight. They were not completely horrible. The legs bunched up a bit and got a little irritating. Without the pad they probably would have given me a giant wedgie. On the positive side, they were not stuffy and I didn’t get any chafing.

5/10

We have a string with a hair band at the end. Ada gets one friend on the bike.

Eyelets or clamps? Plastic or metal?

35mm tire or fender? 700c? WE NEED MORE INFO.

Also someone buy my SKS 26" giants that I’ll never use.

Drop out of life with bong in hand
Follow the Smoke toward the Riff filled Land
Drop…out of life with bong in hand
Follow the Smoke toward the Riff filled Land

Proceeds the Weedian – Nazareth
Proceeds the Weedian – Nazareth

Creedsmen roll out across the dying dawn
Sacred Israel Holy Mountain Zion
Sun beams down on to the Sandsea reigns
Caravan migrates through deep sandscape
Lungsmen unearth the creed of Hasheeshian
Procession of the Weed-Priests to cross the sands
Desert Legion Smoke-Covenant is complete
Herb bails retied on to backs of beasts
Arise arise arise - The Son of the God of Israel
Jordan River flows on evermore
Bathe in glow of sunlight’s beating rays
They feel so lost and burned through our days
Stoner caravan emerge from sandsea
Earthling inserts to chalice the green cutchie
Groundation soul finds trust upon smoking hose
Assembled creedsmen rises prayer-filled smoke
Raise up seer’s Holy Prophecy
Lets down on upon years of the sun now feeds
Seed of Eden fall on the
Onward caravan prepare new bong

Weed-Priests Smol-tent the right
Judgement soon come to Mankind
Green Herbsmen serve rightful king
Hemp seed caravan carries

The molten fire flowed up toward Zion
Flight of the Nazarene to seek the Cheribum
Rides out believer with the spliff aflame
Marijuanaut escapes earth to cultivate

Grow-Room is church temple of the new stoner breed
Chants Loud-Robed priest down on to the freedom seed
Burnt offering redeems – completes smoked deliverance
Caravans’ stoned deliverance
The caravan holds to Eastern Creed - Now smokes believer !
The Chronicle of the Sensimillian

Drop out of life with bong in hand
Follow the smoke toward the riff-filled land
Drop out of life with bong in hand
Follow-the-smoke-Jerusalem
