Looks like I know where I’m buying my Xtracycle from! Escape Sports in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan sells them! I called and talked to the owner who was super friendly and accommodating. Looks like it wouldn’t even be all that pricey to have it shipped here thanks to his willingness to ship via Greyhound. I will probably still buy the peapod baby seat direct from Xtracycle  but that’s a lot better than having it all go through the border. 

          

I can’t possibly describe just how excited I am!

Putting a back seat and trunk on my bike… June 9, 2008

I’m in the process in getting a Xtracycle for my bike. I’ve been drooling over them since I clicked a link for them two years ago. It’s a bit complicated because the only company that sells them is in Ontario. I need to call them and see if they have what I want and how much the shipping will be and then compare with shopping directly from Xtracycle in the states.

Imagine carrying groceries, my five year old and my one and a half year old! That baby seat holds them until 55 lbs! I can still attach my Chariot to the back or Cam can attach it to his for extra luggage.

Other interesting options:

Four Wheel Bicycle Links

Unique Cycles

 

I’m more than one dimensional… June 9, 2008

Filed under: Random Musings — mountainannie @ 2:09 am

Already I seem to hesitate. This blogging- putting my thoughts out there for all to read, I wonder how do I properly represent myself as someone deeper than just my blog postings or each singular blog thought. Perhaps it’s a matter of saying fuck it (can I say that here?) and letting go. Just blog!

There are so many things I want to say! So many topics I could blog about! I’m actually looking forward to it!

Well here it is. I wasn’t even sure I wanted to have a blog but lately I’ve been feeling the need to voice my sometimes random thoughts.
