My hubby and I have started calling it the Frankenbike due to all of the stuff I keep adding to it. He says its also ugly now with everything, but I just like to be prepared. :P Recently we weighed it and I've added around 10 extra pounds of gear according to the scale.But I've got a _very_ loud refillable air horn, an HID light, bike pump, seat bag with tools, etc. etc.
I think the scale is lying anyway.
He just laughs at me for carrying all that stuff. At least there isn't a kitchen sink on it.At least not yet.

Ill have to post pics of my towing rack. It has a big cable hook and works well with the super low gearing on the mountain bike. Hardest part is getting started. It is really fun to see people's reactions to seeing a bike towing down the road.
I was inspired by going to cambodia. They pack 4 people or 400 lbs of cargo or whatever we would do with a truck, on singlespeeds. Soo, we should be able to at least match
Ride it, break it, fixit, ride it...

My new bike is named Seabiscuit - because he started at the bottom and was known for carrying really heavy jockeys!
