I was coming back from the shop after our 28 hour Repairapalooza and was riding the new Pugsley and was thinking that it will be nice when we get a little snow so I can test it in the environment I purchased it for... thinking that it will be good for everything except those really icy days and then I can use the winter beast with it's IGH and studded tyres or the extrabike when I need to do bigger shopping trips as towing a trailer in the winter is a pain.

I am looking at a power assisted front hub for the extrabike so it can pull itself through bigger drifts.

I have a car that I paid $1.00 for and take really good care of it as it is a nice dependable vehicle that gets used to carry me and my bikes to other places and purchased that for long road trips with my family who thinks that riding 100 km to visit family is a little too far.

A guy that came to the Repairapalooza needeed to replace the entire drive train on his rather new bike and this included both chain rings because he has logged so many miles on his daily commute... I told him that he should mount the chain rings somewhere as very few people ever ride a bike enough to wear out their chain rings and there were high fives all around.
