On this blog, we devote a lot of attention and time to
Utility Cycling. Here’s another
aspect, and one I don’t see often discussed.
Most of the time when I am driving, I have a bicycle (or
two) loaded up in the back of the truck.
I also almost always have a helmet and a pair of shoes aboard with me. I prefer to ride to group rides and
events. It’s not always
possible. Sometimes, in order to
have the correct machine at the appropriate place, I have to shuttle bikes
around. Sometimes, I’m
transporting a bike to or from maintenance sites.
But there is often a more hidden and subtle reason for that
bike in the bed of the truck. It’s
part of a multi-stage vehicle.
I’ve used it in just that fashion. The bike can be launched at any time that the truck becomes
impractical, or disabled.
Increased reliability and versatility. Pretty cool.
