    What would happen if you kept one bike intact to pedal, and made 2 foot outriggers on either side for gear? Think man-sized training wheels...

    or even just one side?? Think an outrigger on a canoe...

    Yes, by hand. I'm not nearly enough of a decent mechanic to do aught else. Already rummaged the variants you mentioned through, and came up dry.

    Sniper from a history standpoint a beach cruiser is a bike you can run into a curb while drunk and not damage it. They generally are not pretty and the nice thing is no one would want to been seen on it so they do not get stolen.

    On a side note they have a new and improved version which in all seriousness allows you to ride it in sand or snow. These bikes have lard balloon tires. I do not know how well they work but I do know they cost a bunch.

    So if it is predictable and preventable then you better prepare.

    My bet with Ballon tires is that they would perform very well.

    Just got in from mulching berry plants, cutting back all our tropical plants and mulching. Also just brought in 30lbs of green and almost ripe maters of all types. Gonna have a 32* night tonight. Wish I had 2 more weeks of warm weather, we were doing great on maters.
    Common sense is so rare these days, it should be re-classified as a super power.

    Wrap the tomatos in newspaper and keep them boxed Ina dark area. They'll still ripen over time.

    Yup. You can ripen them fast if you put a green banana in the crate with them. We did layers between newspaper last year and just pulled ripe maters out every few days. The banana will make them ALL ripen around the same time.

    Picked up 32lbs of pecans at the park down the street. The trees are somewhere around 150 years old, and were planted when this property was a homestead starting in 1845. The person who was it was originally granted to is buried about 200 yards from these big pecans. Gonna take them and have them shelled this week.

    I made some wooden boxes to house my global buckets. How does this count as prepping, you ask?? It supports the longevity of this part of my garden, as mrs sniper has been getting more vocal about the looks of the buckets in the yard.
    Give a man fire, and he'll be warm for a day!
    Light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life!

    Cat's are food... not friends!

    If you're going to fight, then fight like you're the third monkey on the ramp into Noah's arc... and brother, it's starting to rain.
