So you just can’t ride your bicycle without some tunes and you don’t want to wear earbuds or worse for safety reasons. Then It’s smiple, just attach a trailer to your bike, add a battey, car stereo and some speakers and wah la, you’ve got a bicycle stereo like in the picture on the left. I just hope dragging around all that extra weight doesn’t slow you down. At least you’ll have some tunes, well ah, that is until your battery dies.
If you really want some tunes and you got some extra cash laying around, say $799.00 for starters, you could get one of these beauties from boomcooler.com. (See below) I’m sure with a little ingenuity you could rig this beast up to your bike. Better yet, why not build your own.
Two guys from Washington state, Andrew and Randal Leese, have set out to bicycle around the world and raise money for the orphans of India. They started their great ride on April 3rd, 2009. Their blogging, taking pictures, and raising money as they go. So far they have put on over 4500 miles, been in two counties and have had 26 flats. To check out their adventures and blog please click on the picture to visit their site.
Got a bike helmet and worried someone might steal it. Maybe you should give one of these helmet locks a try. Their made of vinyl coated aircraft wire rope with a zinc plated metal stopper. They smiply slip through the air vents on your helmet and around your lock. Go to Bikehelmetlocks.com for more info. The single bike helmet lock goes for a low of $12.95.
On July 9th Continental will be hosting a Ragbrai tribute ride. The ride will start at Brighton Beach and will go for 15 to 20 miles up and back along the shore and afterwards there will be a free BBQ hosted by Continental Ski and Bike. This will be a short, fun ride, so everyone is encouraged to come out and celebrate biking together. Click on picture for more info.
Ever want to join a team on Ragbrai? See if you meet team Melonheads standards and take their entrance test. Even if you don’t give it a try, I’m sure you’ll get a kick out of it.
Photojojo.com has a tutorial on how to make a cheap and dirty DIY camera mount for your bicycle. Looks like it would work great for Ragbrai. Personally I think it would rattle the heck out of my camera, but what do you think?
