I grew up riding bikes. Didn't everyone? I used to think so until I started to really think about it and ask people their experiences. My family and I live a fairly car lite life and as my kids are starting to ride on their own I'm doing my best to let them find their way on two wheels.

Latest Project
Working on a family cargo bike. I've had it languishing for quite some time but it's been on the stand for a couple of weeks and I've been picking at it here and there. Down to the chain and then all the adjustments. It's a 1993 Bridgestone MB-3 that's been powder coated international orange. Reminiscent of the old X0 bikes. I've had the xtracycle parts laying around waiting for this frame. It used to be built up on an old Trek frame that was some ridiculously small size. Wasn't very useful that way so this should give us some more options. I'd like a porteur rack for it eventually but for now we'll just get it on the road. This is the older version of the free radical without any fender mounts so I'm kind of trying to figure out how to put that together without buying stuff. Unfortunately it's sitting in front of another unfinished project.....
