Streetgrabber!

 WOW...some fan mail.

Last summer I had to park my Organic Engines Cargo on 34th St,.Later in the day I rode my EZ1 to pick it up,Pearl with camera was already there trying to figure it out.
It is a little bit of a strange looking contraption ,you know!

Hi there,

I met you on a summer afternoon and took these photos of you.

Sorry for taking so long. 

How have you been?

Maybe I should get a bike like you and work uptown, since I am on 114th St?

Here are some links to my webpage,

Human Power is Going to the Dogs?

Who let the dogs out,,ruf,ruff ,rufff ,rufffff.....!

I'd rather see this out on the Hudson River Bikeway instead of cyclists that ride with dogs on 6ft foot leashes ! The electric bikes are great and all but they are driving me nuts too,
here's a great solution.

THE FIRST DOG PULLED DEVICES WHICH PLACE THE DOG/DOGS BEHIND A STEERING WHEEL !
THUS GIVING THE RIDER PRECISION STEERING CONTROL OF THE DOG W/ NO COMMANDS NECESSARY.
THEREFORE EASY TO RIDE, SAFE, AND APPROPRIATE FOR THE URBAN ENVIRONMENT.
VIRTUALLY NO DOG TRAINING IS REQUIRED. THUS MAKING DOG MUSHING ACCESSIBLE TO MOST BREEDS, AGE OF RIDER, LOCATION AND SEASON.

Cross training for dog sports ! 

 

Unlimited dog exercise under excellent dog control

 

These rigs are much safer and more practical than any "dog out front " method of mushing for us urban dwellers.

 

Dear High Drive Dog Owners-

check out these new dog/human powered rigs ! 

 http://www.dogpoweredscooter.com/ 

 

Safe, fun and practical dog exercise tools.  and a whole new dog sport !

this is the first time anyone has placed a pulling animal BEHIND a steering wheel- that makes it safe and so easy- that makes it big news !

Move over and let Rover take over! 

NOTE

Remember i don't do bicycles- i don't consider them an appropriate device to attach a dog to since the center of gravity is so high (so if an accident does happen it will be worse) and you can't slow down to a dogs walk. and i don't want to get sued.  and i also have no interest in the traditional "dog out front method" my stuff emphasis's pulling/ mushing, safety, urban appropriate, dog control and all age usage.

thanks

Very inspiring article..Wish I could join in his mission!

Robert Matson of NYC Recumbent Supply

This happens to me all the time...

I just finished blogging the NY Times article on Robert Matson.

I leave the house and as I'm heading north on the Hudson River Bikeway I run into Robert Matson from the article I just posted!

He was riding a very funny looking contraption with a tiny seat.

He was really interested in the Organic Engines SUV Cargo that I was riding and he just had to take it for a spin!

 

 

 Hey Robert Great to see you !

A Struggle to Stay Upright

“Relax your hands and lean back,” said Robert Matson, my coach in learning to ride a recumbent bicycle. “You have to accept the comfort,” he offered. I tried, but found myself quickly teetering on the odd machine.

My NCN - Coffee with Burt.wmv

This video comes all the way from the UK. It's from a FaceBook fan of small haul NYC

From Janyis Watson

here's a video shot last weekend in my home town _ Brighton, UK

I love my cargo bike!! 

Our regular Sunday morning jaunt down to Brighton beach Starring  

Burt, the wire haired dachshund.

I acquired Burt - or he acquired me - a couple of years ago and he wasn't able to keep up with the bike. I tried a trailer but he barked incessantly. He seems to like the xtracycle though. I've tried a few methods, but the baby bath is the ideal dimensions.
My boyfriend is a cycle courier, carrying loads. They also use trailers, cargo bikes and did have a maximus trike. He's using a bullit at present. 

Thanks Janyis
I just love this stuff! 

Here's an Update from Janyis !

Urban Mobility Project - Not so Small Haul

Small Haul NYC 
Not so small!

Wow my first flatbed job!
That's Mark the customer he chased me down on the bikeway last week and asked if I'd do the job for him. Didn't know these things weight close to 200lbs! When we tried to get it on the dolly we could barley lift it 2 inches off the ground.

We finally got it loaded from the side....cause we were worried about flipping the trike by putting all that weight on the rear!

Whew!

Mark rode behind making sure all was OK and giving a nice boost once in a while by pushing !.

We arrived at west 86th st intact , was a very slow ride but not as bad as I thought it would be...Organic Engines SUV is totally amazing!!!

 Yes We Can!

Greetings Shelly:

David Whitmon initially alerted me to your blog. It's a great read and puts me back in touch with a city I had visited often when in College upstate 30 years ago.

Here's a project you might have heard about: A velomobile tour across the United States in the summer of 2011. Imagine over 40 of those machines David is flying over MV riding from Portland to Washington in 30 days.
All details here: www.rolloveramerica.eu

Maybe you would want to share this with the NYC biking community.


Best, Josef

Funny thing about the perception of speed with no motor, I could tell someone that my bike can cruise at 

40 mph

They just laugh ...the public just can't seem to make the connection!

I might as well say it goes 

80 mph!

Wonder if that would get a bigger laugh?
