So I first came across xtracycle last year when looking for a trailer to carry my camera gear around town. It looked like a great thing, so I bought one for my old commuter bike. I carried my gear without fear of damaging some really expensive equipment and it was great.
I also carried around my longboard to some local hills, and started thinking about using it as the snapdeck. I was finally convinced to do it.
It started becoming really fun, seeing what I could cart around without using the car
My wife and I live in a very cruiser friendly area and it wasn't too long before I was eyeing an xtracycle for one of my cruisers. Decided to go for it on my Electra Ghostrider and it was good.
Sara really enjoyed this and we started going on dates with it..
It wasn't too long and she was wanting one for herself. She found a bike that she thought would be fun with an xtracycle and went for it..
About this time, I decided to retire my schwinn and get a Surly KM. I took the bike apart, thinking it wouldn't be too long before I could get it built up. Unfortunately I was wrong and so we just had the 2 cruiser xtracycles. Then Washington weather set in and it's been raining and snowing since. We want to keep these cruisers spiffy looking so they have unfortunately been sitting since. I've been going a little nuts waiting on parts for the KM but today it became rideable and I am happy. It still needs a little bit of work/adjustment to get it just the way I like it, but at least I can start hauling around town again.
Hooray!!
