2 Wheels Maybe

KevCentral - way to go! Besides my obsession with cargo bikes, I'm also bit infatuated with the Huffy Cranbrook (a cheap, universal-palette bike for building all kinds of funky bikes.) Through that obsession, I ran across a KevCentral video where he went down to the local WallyWorld, bought a discounted Cranbrook , and did a very thorough review. Since then, I've seen Kev move up the ranks. Recently I was very excited to see him review a bike from Detroit Bikes . (I'm a big fan of those sleek, non-motored machines from the Motor City.) So, today I was all kinds of excited to see that mangu Mongoose sent him an Envoy to review. The biggest (and most expensive bike) I've seen Kev review Kev, I have Envoy envy! [ Blogger note: Seriously, I lie awake at night dreaming of the day that I can start a post (or video, vlog, insta-snap...) with the words, "[Insert anyone's name here] sent me a new [or old - I don't care] bike to review.&quo

On Saturday morning I started a post about wanting another bike - a fancier, newer, more expensive bike. I've been riding too little, watching too many videos, and dreaming of far-away (by bike) places with lots of hills and trees and rocks. That sort of thing gets me to wanting more stuff. The Simple Bike But last night the weather was mild and I was itching for a ride. I walked into the garage, looked at the gathered handlebars and went straight to the Huffy klunker. After two miles on the dark and uncrowded streets I found myself smiling and very thankful for what is, in reality, a pretty crappy (but enjoyable) bike. Last night's ride on the HuffKlunk The Huffklunk has turned into my short-trip bike and my play-in-the-dirt bike. While it may not be high-tech or heavy duty, I find that it's consistently tougher than I am and its capabilities far exceed my own, even on our local mountain bike trails. In truth, it's more bike than this mesquite hugger
