What better way to help feel grounded in a strange place than to meet a farmer and eat local, literally joining your metabolism to the soil, air and water all around you? Since we don’t drive, and it was winter, our search quickly led to our only real choice: the 47th Avenue Farm. A good deal of the food was grown within Portland city limits, they operated year-round, and the pickup was a pleasant fifteen minute ride away.

Ever since then it’s been mashed potato towers. I know a stokemonkey would fit very nicely into the slot behind the seatube. The bike in the photo was built to handle fatter tires for rail trail camping with the kids. I’m working on a 700c version and a touring version designed for four panniers in the back which I hope to take out on a test and evaluate trip this summer. As this is a customized bike the pricing will vary greatly depending on how it’s built so I’m going to pull that number off the site. I’ve arrived at the final design (which is different than the bike in the photo) and I’m two months from full production. By the way Todd, how did you find my site so quickly?</p> The first time I saw an Xtracycle was on a club ride when I was passed by a rider and then his girl and she was doing her makeup!?

Hopefully the big bike makers could bring some mass-produced economy to the idea and make it more palatable for people who want to keep their cars (for whatever reason), but use them less.</p> That Frontier looks pretty nice, but at the price ($4200) I think its market is the already converted.
