For about — oh, 4.2 seconds we thought about buying another car — but who are we kidding? This is Portland and we really, really don’t want another car, for a number of reasons. That’s when we found out about Xtracycles.

So this Sunday we got our nerve up and went and bought ourselves an Xtracycle Radish and jerry-rigged another seat onto it. It’s a real beauty. I very much want to see a Mad Max remake with just these type of bikes.

Because of its long wheelbase it’s such a smooth, cadillac of a ride.
