I don't look happy because I got caught in rain.

I normally like to remain relatively anonymous, but in this case I'll make an exception. I'm the second one from the left:

I just want you to know that in spite of these pictures, in my head you will always like the Bicycle Repair Man, Data Junkie will look like a monkey, and Chipcom will look like a photo shoot gone wrong.
Ok, here's a pic of me where you can actually see my face. Yes, I'm wearing a wetsuit. No, I don't want to explain why. http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/f...bikewinter.jpg |

Get in a few punches for me Chip!
Chip better wear his ninja suit as the groundhog is going to see him coming from a mile away. |

The Mississippi is cold this time of year. And Minneapolis' track record with bridges kinda sucks.... |

At first thought it reminded me of the Rain City Superheroes... except so much cooler as these guys use bikes to fight crime.

Just Great. You've gone and announced the location of our secret hideout to everyone on BF.
;) No prob. You can always join my gang: when criminals in this world appear and break the laws that they should fear and frighten all who see or hear the cry goes up both far and near for Underdog! speed of lightning, roar of thunder fighting all who rob or plunder Underdog. Underdog! |

plus 1000... still betting on the groundhog because he's better armed but Chip is old and still has some tricks up his sleeve.

Sometimes I forget what I look like while wearing the respirator, I guess this explains why people don't smile back when I say "hi" passing them on the MUP. The snow on the road is gone, but I've still been wearing the respirator for -10C and below days with headwinds.

Here is a pic of how the Burley Piccolo links up. It attaches to a proprietary Burley rack. There is a threaded portion in the center of the rack, that the hitch screws in to. The big silver steel portion of the hitch is a backup to the bolt. The whole rig is wicked secure. I did a 7 or 8 mile ride with my daughter last weekend, and hardy noticed that my daughter was there. She has no sense of balance yet, so that's pretty cool. I even did a 3-mile ride with an empty piccolo, and there was no problem.
Overall, I'm blown away by the Piccolo. The downsides are: 1. No longer produced. 2. Hard to find, and generally demand a premium price. 3. Must use the proprietary rack 4. Heavier than other trailer bikes The upsides are: 1. Wicked stable 2. Gear shifting on the Piccolo!!!! 3. bombproof 4. Accessories are still available from Burley. I got lucky and found one on Craigslist for $50.00. :D:D:D I want a second one for my wife's bike now that I have 3 year old twins and my 7 year old is starting to ride on his own. The twins are big for their age and won't fit in the D'Lite much longer. I can only hope to find one used. |

This is the best I've got already in my photobucket.
