My new Surly Karate Monkey w/ xtracycle!

[sarahlou]

This is my commute bike, I have a road bike and a mt. bike too. I was using my DH's to commute this winter because it had 3 inch tyres with studs in them so it was good in the snow and on the ice. He rode his mt. bike so I could ride the surly. I liked it so much that he decided to put one together for me- that way he gets his back! The xtracylce is good in snow and on ice as it gives the bike a longer wheel base so it is less likely to come out from under you- also you can carry a lot of gear (up to 200lbs) which is always handy in Alaska as you need a lot of gear up here. The basket for Lou Lou is just for fun (or if I do any touring with her), she usually runs along side while I mt. bike. But she truely does love the basket, when I pull out the bike she jumps up into my arms to be put in the basket!

Hell yeah!
Lou Lou is no dummy- who wouldn't like being chauffeured in a basket?!
That is one fine ride.

Nice bike! And what a great basket for Lou Lou, such a happy looking pup.

Awesome setup. I think feeling like a kid again is the A#1 reason saddle up.

Sometimes I feel like it's our little secret.

awww, what a happy dog! I often think it would be nice to have a dog's capacity for joy. There's a guy who rides in my area with his little yappy dog (don't know the breed, but that's the generic term I use for the type...) strapped into a snuggly sack. That little dog yips with delight the whole way. Makes me smile every time I see them.
