I've been coveting an Xtracycle for a long time, mostly because of Geonz's raves here and on BiJou, and now I have one of my own. Today I rode it home from the LBS, and I think I'm going to like this thing!
It's a 1991 Bridgestone MB-4 rigid MTB I found on Craigslist for $60, and after adding a few hundred more for the Xtracycle kit, albatross bars, bar end shifters, and a Brooks saddle, it's a hauling machine. And of course, it's red.

I've started looking at panniers. What did you get Zen?
I did my first real "Errand" ride today. Loaded my newspapers into my new "grocery" pannier and dropped them off for recycling. Then rode to grocery store and picked up a few items, then to the post office to get the mail. 14 miles total, with a small load. It was COLD and WINDY but it always is. Not bad though. Nicer in the sunny spots.
