I agree about foreign cars, but what is wrong with having a minivan? I have a Dodge Caravan and can put my bike inside it without removing the front tire. I just open the back door, put the back seat...

Living on US 101, a very popular west coast route, I see people passing through on tours all the time. I often see pans made out of weird things, like plastic kitty litter buckets. But while I always...

Wow... You guys are just full of great ideas. I particularly like your hub motor, Trikin'. I considered putting a dynamo hub on there to run my lights. I guess there is more interest in putting...

Personally, I don't think $7,000.00 is enough for a year long tour going to multiple countries. I could be wrong, of course. If you go to countries that have low prices for food and supplies, but in...

I rode about 14 miles between 12:00 AM and 2:00 AM this morning. I love riding in the fog of the northern California coast, specially around or after midnight when it's quiet and there's no traffic....
