I've got the big boy seat now!


My ass has really been killing me lately and I was sort of at an impasse. I couldn't get the mounting hardware for the original seat off the post and it was really starting to fucking piss me off. The OG Huffy seat was basically a tea towel over a steel spike with some cling wrap over it and the agony was no bullshit. I pulled the seat of the 70's Sears Free Spirit we bought for $7 at the thrifty in OKC. (I'd previously pulled the rear rack for Megan's bike.)

The difference is awesome. I can actually ride in relative comfort now, as this seat is about four inches wider for my big ass. So now I've got the big boy seat, and it's fucking great.





We picked up our $26 Huffy tandem today, and it works perfectly. Megan even rode it home! The tires are pretty much shot, but they hold air for now. They're 26 x 1 3/4 so they're slightly wider than our other two bike's tires to accommodate the two people riding it. Megan will take some good pictures and we'll post them tomorrow.

Stop eating meat, dairy and eggs; start riding a bike. Please read the first issue of Urban Cyclist.

UPDATE:
I totally forget to mention the funniest thing ever. We walked over to the guy's house to pick up the bike, yeah? Well, when we got there, he was talking to his next door neighbor. I didn't look at her, but as we walked up she got in her car and drove away... Megan noticed that it was a gold SUV with a "Life What a Beautiful Choice" sticker. HAHAHAHAHA. It's a good thing I didn't recognize that bitch, or I would have said, "Wow, that's a big honkin' bike! I really like it, it sure does honk my horn." I thought it was pretty funny.
