Stupidest Bike Accessory Ever

[smurfalicious]

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!

There's a lot of touchy people lately. Maybe it's because it's allergy season.

I'm definitely not volunteering to do this - but if someone really wanted to, it'd be great if there was an FAQ on here that has links to threads on or discussions on does this bike fit or will this saddle work for me? Or if we set up a team estrogen wikipedia on women's bike fit.

I think that's already been done!

That's what the TE search function is for. There are just too many hundreds of threads and posts that have various questions combined about saddle fit, bike fit, WSD, frame size, frame material, reach, seat tube angles, sore butt, numb hands, etc, etc. No one could gather all that up and try to categorize it neatly- you just have to learn to use the search engine on TE if you want to read what everyone has written already. Most new people are search engine 'challenged' and/or they simply don't want to do the work of reading when they can simply ask the questions all over again!
I know I personally have stopped trying to answer the same newbie questions over and over again- it gets to be just too much. My favorite is the "What bike should I get?- I want a really good bike that'll last but I don't want to spend more than $200..."...usually containing ZERO details that might give a vague clue as to what kind of riding they hope to do or what kind of rider they are.

When I joined TE I had plenty of questions....but I read, read, read tons of past threads and many of my questions were answered and then some- even questions that I didn't know I had yet!

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!

no, it's made specifically for the bike. I'll see if i can find my original post about it with links..

Mimi,

Thank you for posting this. The bike blender looks really cool and I'm going to see about getting one.

For anyone else interested, here's a link to the seller of these:
