Bullitt's got back!

The Bullitt just became even more practical! Tim found a rack that had come off one of the Breezer bikes after they had done a BionX conversion and was able to finagle it onto the Bullitt. He had to use some spacers to get it far enough away from the disc brakes and I installed a set collar with rack mounts as the bike didn't come with any. After some brute force, I now have a wonderful and sturdy rear rack to offset the load of kids I frequently have in the box. I gussied the rack up with my mom's old set of Nashbar panniers because they didn't fit the rack on her new Breezer Greenway.

Brian and Monica probably get lots of admiring looks from passer-bys.
I ran into the fantastic folks behind Carsick Designs yesterday. Monica was riding her locally built Cycle Truck and Brian had his Xtracycle. Both bikes were decked out in their own bags and filled to the brim! They also had E-zee electric assists and zoomed past at the next intersection.

Ice Cream For Dorie!
Good thoughts go out to our bikey-friend, Dorie, of Hum Of The City who was rear-ended by a car while riding her Mamachari with her son. Thankfully, her son is okay but shaken up. She, however, is in for her second leg surgery. Please send her lots of healing and kind thoughts for a speedy recovery.

So, as April comes to an end, so does the 30 Days Of Biking. It was easy this year and I didn't even need to give the challenge a second thought. I just rode every day because I had somewhere to go and biking is how we get around. I was in a car about three times this month which is almost as much as I've been in a car all year.

May Is Bike Month starts tomorrow with the Kick-Off event and the mile logging starts! A huge thank you to all our Tiny Helmets teammates! We're going to be contenders this year!

I adore the panniers. They are beautiful. Mine aren't nearly as pretty, but I love my dirty well loved bags. Besides, it just gives me an excuse to cover them in travel pins and patches from all the places I plan on going.

The kids are darling, and all the friends you introduce to us are amazing as well.

The bike is very handsome and I hope you get hundreds of thousands of miles from the bike.

I look forward to your next posts.

Thanks, Vicki! These bags have been pretty well-loved, too. It was a Nashbar deal that my mom found and we got a few sets. I have some blue ones on another bike. I'll either have to change the rack or the bags because my heel strikes them sometimes. They're good for now.

Thanks for reading! I can't wait to see where this bike takes us!
