Please excuse me for changing the thread subject, but is this true? This could be the coolest bike accessory ever.

I'll appreciate any details. Thank you.

yes, it's been lots of fun. Summer is coming and we'll want to eat more smoothies. It was a bit of a hassle getting it installed (no one who lives in my house has the slightest mechanical aptitude); so we invited my son over to do the job. Then we all made smoothies!

the only drawback is, you don't want to put it on your main bike because then you'd have to uninstall it and reinstall it. Or drive that motor the whole time which might wear your tire out faster.

So between my smoothie maker and my solar panels, I'm feeling pretty green right now

Mimi, maybe you could ride "Fatty's 100 miles of nowhere ride" (there's a thread about it somewhere): it's a ride on the trainer or rollers for 100 miles. You could make a LOT of smoothies in that time.

Here's the thread

She could simultaneously do the ride and provide food for the rest stop

I don't know about you guys, but there's only so many smoothies we can eat!
The drawback to my bike smoothie maker is that we're all done in less than 15 minutes and that includes preparing the fruit to put into the blender!

someone here is complaining that good people have left this forum. That's a natural occurrence in forums. Some people go, some people stay, and some people (like me) post too much. that's the way it is; people move on.
It sure is great when we have experts on here; and we do, we have a frame builder, a bike shop owner (or 3?) and some fantastic bike mechanics.

Yet even these people are pushed to the limits almost daily with questions like "does this bike fit me?" "will this saddle work for me?"
Have fun ! if it's not fun for you to be here, don't be here!

Can you please tell me the name of the smoothie maker?

Is it made especially to adapt to a bicycle or did your son jimmy it together using his special knowledge?

Thank you!

Mimi,

Thank you for posting this.
