AB'er on stretch bike

Dave A said:

I spotted a bike that was "stretched" with long extended chain stays, making room for lots of luggage. Spotted on the corner of Exhibition
and Lonsdale (Melb CBD) this morning about 9:30 am.

I also noticed an aus.bicycle spoke card in the front wheel.

Just curious. Who was the rider? I did not recognise the face.

PeteB and his trusty Xtracycle! 🙂

Either I do another print run (ummmm) or you can download the image from here & do you're own DIY laminating. 😉

It was Meeeee!

It's called an Xtracycle S.U.B. (Sport Utility Bicycle)
http://www.xtracycle.com
Mine is based on a 2000 Avanti Barracuda MTB.
The extra length is a cantilever extension that locates the
rear axle 15" rearward and has a special sling system for carrying loads.

Mine is available for test rides if anybody wants one.
The Aus distribute is in Sin city.

(I have no financial interest in sales, I just want to see more
people riding them.)

I was on my way into work when you saw me.

Peletons form about Pete on long rides. Think of a bunch of F 18
fighters flying with a tanker for a long flight. So too little bunches
of cyclists escort Pee and his 'tanker' load of beer 🙂
