Seth's Pugsley BOB-Sled
While we’re getting a taste of Spring this week in Flagstaff, apparently it’s still snowing in some parts of the country. According to Seth in Maine: I pedaled a Surly Pugsley into the northern end of Baxter State Park in Maine hauling a converted BOB trailer. Where the trailer wheel goes, I mounted an old…

Charley's Giant Xtracycle
According to Charley: This was an unfinished project using a Giant cruiser frame and Xtracycle. A little challenging to mount a stop and cable slot under the crank for front derailer, but otherwise routine. This bike is really Giant! Charley also added Xtracycle Freeloader Saddlebags and SnapDeck for extra cargo carrying capabilities.
2012 Utility Cycling Year in Review
Happy New Year! Wow, I must admit, I am somewhat stunned that we are already one week into 2013. I wasn’t quite prepared for 2012 to be over yet. Anyhow, as has been the tradition here at Utility Cycling, I’m doing a “year in review” post, albeit a few days late. But as I looked…

Randall's Extrawheel Ad-Bird
“List Free, Shop Smart, Save Gas!” This is the motto of Randall’s bicycle-powered advertising business. He used an Extrawheel Voyager to prop his “Ad-Bird” and he can still haul cargo in his 6 Ortlieb panniers as he advertises. Way to multi-task. Also check out Extrawheel’s other trailer, the Advert — an alternate design for promoting…
