BICYCLES BUILT FOR TWO AND THEN SOME


Could this be the future of the Crazy Bastards?

Great ride last night with regulars like Redline and MC, err, ICEMAN, plus some faces we haven't seen for a while.  Ralph came out on a new giant-looking (hey he's a big guy) Kona Jake the Snake. (We found your mittens in the snow on the way to the HC, Ralph).  MC and stoker KAT joined us rocking a white cross tandem rig, with white snow tires! So cool, but isn't MC always so cool? Seeing the tandem in a action we had to think 'could this be the ultimate Bastard solution for our winter rides?'  Just think of it! All we have to make sure is that none of the dudes from the church ride get on and we're set to go! And only one chain to clean! To be totally unique maybe we should also consider some other options other than the traditional straight line tandem-plus ride.


Above is a sweet idea in multi-rider transportation. Since you'll be sitting kind of face-to-face. It will also provide ample opportunity for even more chit-chat while riding, and other social interactions, if you call passing the flask around a social interaction.


How about a double-double configuration? Friendly, and this piece of crap won't fall over on the ice like my Surly always wants to. And, this rig will make it possible to say those magic words, "Could you please rub some more lotion on my shoulders?"



Of course here's the ultimate ride multi-Bastard ride! It comes with a bunch seats  for all of us and Angelina Jolie doing the stoking!!!!! I don't know if Brad Pit will be there, but who cares? I hear he has B.O. anyway. Dibs on the seat in the back. I wonder if that white helmet will fit me?
