sir trial a lot Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Basically, at the age of 15 im sick of biking miles on my zoo which is very tiring/uncomfortable so im looking at trying to find a way of riding my new xc bike when it comes whilst carrying my zoo somehow. Any ideas on how to do this? i was thinking about a cheap bike bag but didnt know wether it would be a pain to carry on a bike.Thanks, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Nugent Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 I thought about this before. Where would you leave your xc bike though? I know it would be more comfortable and possibly easier but think about it... you have to remember locks and it is probably quicker to just ride on your zoo as it may take a while to strap it up etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
that NBR dude Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 There was a guy near us once who built a special trailor to put his monty on, and it clipped to the back of his XC rig. Was really clever, the trailor folded away and everything. Cant remember the way the bike was mounted, but think it was similar to roof mounted bike racks.

Phatmike Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 When I blew my wheel up on Friday, I just strapped my bike by the frame to my bag, using the available straps. Worked a treat. Back got a little sore after half an hour of walking though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justfuzzit Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 I would strap it to my back with an empty backpack or something. Get it balanced and it should work alright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 You know those things to attach kiddy bikes to normal bikes? Where you take the front wheel out of the children's bike and attach it by the forks to the other one. That might work, although it'd look a bit weird.

RicH_87 Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 just get a long strap off an art folder or something and adapt the clips to wrap around your top tube/chainstay, then just slip it on like a bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trials Dave Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 be a man and ride the zoo everywhere. it will put hair on your chest son!!! we've done it a few times where you put your bike across your handlebars and hold on to it. it works really well.i shall demonstrate next time you are up here riding.
