In advanced longtail, cargo biking, this is known as “Santa’s Sleigh.” It’s a collection of different size boxes, packages, and weights secured to the bike with tie-down straps. The weight in this load is 150 pounds.

Have you ever been “doored”?
You know exactly what I mean, even though the word door isn’t usually considered a verb in the English language. But it has a very accessible meaning to every cyclist.
Now when I ask you, have you ever been leashed ?, perhaps the idea fails to communicate. Perhaps, you’re thinking of some naughty hijinks behind closed doors. But if I first ask you as a cyclist about ever being doored, and then follow it up with a question about being leashed…you are primed to consider the negative possibilities.
So tonight on the way to return some videos, I got “leashed” and I nearly encountered some severely negative possibilities.

Long ago the mountain bike evolved from balloon tire bicycles into capable offroad machines. Or perhaps Gary Fisher invented them (but many people don’t believe in Creationism). Anyways, they started out as fat tire bikes that got multiple gears and better brakes. The Creators borrowed brake levers and handlebars from motorcycles so that they had enough braking power on those long descents. And thus mountain bikers had flat bars, whereas those dorky roadies had dropbars. That was the nature of mountainbikes, as God intended.

Working with Patti Dobrowolski, Alchemy, on visually mapping out our strategy in 09 and for Hugga 2.0. This video is a peek inside the creative thinking going on at Hugga HQ, our approach to Social Media, and part of what I’ll talk about next week at Web Design World Boston.
This should prove far more useful than the humorous look inside Bike Hugger’s Brain and our Degrees of Hugga chart.
