I'm an avid mountain biker. It's been my thing for a few years now, got a few scars and a busted helmet to prove it. This isn't about that, though. It's about two-wheeled locomotion. I'm sort of in love with it.
Thing is, though, my knobby tire rig is really only good for getting around on dirt, and I don't like being relegated to being a dirt-monkey knuckle dragger. I mean, I'd like to be able to just hop on my bike and hit up the market for a quick run, or maybe ride it around town in the spring and summer (and dry times during the colder months). And I'd like to accomplish this without having to put on my clipless pedal shoes, to boot.
So that got me thinking: it's time for a cruiser.
As I was poking around online, I stumbled upon you guys here at RRB, and it's gone downhill since then. Long story short, I've gone from wanting to simply modify a bike to going for a full build. I've got this amazing idea floating around in my noggin at the moment, and it's going to require the purchase of new tools - woodworking tools.
So what's the deal now? Well, I've got a build, I've got a forum for discussion, I've got a camera, and .... it, I've got an internet connection. New Belgium Brewing Company is doing their Tour de Fat and will be in San Francisco in September, so I intend to be complete with my build by then. Game on.
