BIKE - xtracycle SUB (sports utility bike)

Reblogged from Cool Tools.

What happens when you extend the ass-end of your favorite mountain bike by about two feet? You get an Xtracycle. An awesome idea if you need a handy way to get the groceries home without spending a bundle on gas.

"This kit transforms a regular bike into an SUB (sports utility bike) by extending back the rear wheel and adding a seat and baggage platform. I've had my SUB for two years now. I find it makes owning a car completely unnecessary! I've transported my folding kayak on it. I've taken my girlfriend and her Australian Blue Heeler on it. I've moved furniture. It's crazy how stable it is. In many ways I prefer how it handles to my regular bike! And for giving people tours around NYC people just LOVE it."
