Ross's Pollution-Reducing Pyramid Ride
Tomorrow is Halloween and there will be plenty of little ghosts and goblins out hunting for candy. Others will hole away indoors watching spooktastic movies about monsters and mad scientists and their wild inventions. Which brings us to Ross’s invention: the Purviance Pyramid — shown strapped to his Xtracycle bike trailer, deck, and racks. Here’s…
Thule Attache Case for MacBook Pro: More James Bond than Hello Kitty
On any given day Kate Watters would rather be biking than stuck in her car in traffic. She and her husband collected several vintage one-speed bicycles on their honeymoon road trip from Flagstaff to Vermont, riding around small towns along the way. She writes about her field adventures, creative episodes, and the wonder of the…

Blizzards and Meth Labs and Bears. Oh my!
Shanna Ladd is a bike commuter in Alaska’s Matanuska-Susitna Valley (a.k.a. “The Mat-Su”), north of Anchorage. She’s getting ready to bike commute through her second winter. Her summer/fall commute looks like this: Shanna commented on my post about marketing cycling to women, and told me that what she needed was a fatbike, with or without…

Jordan & Papa Trail-A-Bike to School
Dave and granddaughter Jordan cruise to and from school by Adams Trail-A-Bike. “Shes the only kindergartener that gets picked up with the bike limo.” Lucky Jordan, and love the helmet! Enjoy those nice crisp autumn days while they last before the kiddos start complaining about the cold winter ahead — and complain and complain and…

Bob's Adams Trail-A-Bike Re-Purpose & "Tidy Cat" Panniers
The polls are officially closed — Our “most creative trailer build” award is going out early this week! Bob’s trailer knocks the concept of “re-purposing” out of the park: I bought a used Adams Trail-A-Bike off Craigslist for $50. Cut off the handlebars. Removed the drive train. Replaced the wheel with a stronger BMX wheel….

Don't Make It About The Bike
Lately I’ve been walking to work more often than biking. I realized recently that if I just walk our two dogs (Howard and Skully) to work with me, it takes less time than when I walk them first, leave them at home, and then commute by bike. (It’s a 35-minute walk commute vs. a 25-minute…

Scott's Trailer-Cycle Build
Another inventive Burley Trailer-Cycle / Adams Trail-A-Bike inspired build! Here is Scott’s version: I modified a Bob Yak trailer fork to use as a trail-a-bike attachment which allows my son to ride next to me on the trails, then I can re-attach him when we get to busier areas. I’ll be adding some pannier racks…

1979's 'Americathon' Depicted a Bike-Friendly America
I’ve never seen this movie, but 1979’s Americathon depicted a 1998 “future” America where the USA has run out of oil, and Americans have begun riding bicycles for transportation. Yet it’s apparently not a future that the country chose by redesigning and tweaking infrastructure, and consciously changing transportation and energy policies. It seems as though…

David's "Little Red Trailer"
In David’s own words: About six years ago I decided I would turn the resources of my display business towards making affordable cargo trailers during off-peak times. The next idea was to try to make them out of as much recycled material as possible. After thinking “how hard could it be?” I spent the next…
