Currently my bike is my only vehicle, but I kept breaking spokes in the rear wheel due to the stress of carrying stuff besides myself. Apparently the wheel was built for the bare minimum of stress -- hence the bicycle's affordability. Anyway, my bike mechanic suggested I get a new, heavier duty wheel so I ordered one made -- it came today, they installed it, and wow! There's a huge difference in feel, even unloaded. It rolls more smoothly and really does seem more durable. A great investment! So my vehicle "repair" bill was only..... $114 for parts and labor, much better than a car! Here's the pony loaded up with groceries, I have no fear of being stranded now. I'm on my way home...
A very cool community resource, worth a pilgrimmage. (note: video below looks like it has an error but it doesn't)
A Different Kind of Hybrid Bicycle --
We're debating whether or not this contraption is really a bicycle... What do you think?
I must say, this little bike looks amazing. A guy in New York City has two (watch the video), hangs them in his closet and still has room for coats. It looks well-designed and sturdy. Check it out! A guy in Corona del Mar is selling them on eBay also, in either white or black.... Fun stuff for the future.
Such inventiveness, really. There is so much creativity around bikes!
