Homemade Xtra-cycle

I have created an extended bicycle.  I am doing a few tweaks to it yet, but it rides in all 21 gears.  I used two bike frames that used 700c rims, i took the fork out of the black bike along with the handlebars.  Put the seat post of the red bike through the front tube, and into the seat tube of the red bike.  Then i took the right side of the crank assembly on the black off, and put a left crank arm on the right side with both arms facing same direction.  I put bolts through each pedal bolt hole, and thrugh the rear drop out of the red bike.  I  am going to try and build a few more in the next few weeks.  I will be updating my progress on them...

Keep on Biking....

Transitioning from summer to winter riding

Well im only almost a week late, but i have been working on articles.  Lifes been busier than usual and rediculious.  So here it is:

Transitioning from summer to winter riding

Well, its winter time again.  Time to take off the street tires and slap on the studded tires.  Add space between our tires and our fenders, getting the long johns out and putting the t-shirts away.    Riding in the summer is easy to plan for and so it winter (sometimes), but the transition between the two is the tricky point.  Can be 10 degrees in the morning and 80 by the time you get home.  I have a few steps to help you transition:

1: Wear wool,

Wool, especially marino wool is very warm and also breathable for those warmer times.  I wear a marino wool ballacalava, locally made wool gloves/mittens, and wool socks.  Wool also helps discuise that sweat smell if you happen to sweat while riding.

2: carry a change of clohing,

Carry along a change of clothing for warmer weather, just incase.  The weather men arent always right, and with that said maybe also carry warmer clothes too just incase it dips farther down.

3: get winter or studded tires,

You will want tires to help you stay up on the snow and ice,  studded tires are great for if you ride on a lot of ice, but mountain tires are great for riding in just snow.  If you are riding in both snow and ice, then i would suggest studded tires.

To be continued in hopefully less than a week.

Keep on Biking...
