Any kind of bike has always been welcome on these rides. Try and be creative though, it at least makes it more fun.
See, I don't have a XtraCycle. If I can't get Christine to go I'll bring a trailer with my Bike Friday folded in it. And the front Porteur rack. Then I'll have an actual "extra cycle" instead of just a cargo bike.
Hmmm, I'll be getting off a plane from Philly at 11:30am that day. I have a feeling I won't make this one.
Sound Transit Bus # 560 comes from the airport to West Seattle. It goes right by Lincoln Park. With all the cargo space, I bet you could get a ride to down town. Or Metro Bus #54 goes from Lincoln Park to Downtown. I will even give you a free bus ticket!
Oh, and Xtracycles fit on the bus racks!
Yes, this ride is for everyone. Even you cool fixie kids. If you get tires, we can just haul you AND your bike! If you have no cargo space, feel free to strap it on to us.

I think he means "tie tie," because he's talking to fixie kids whom are too young to understand the multi-syllable "tired."

S and D are too close on the keyboard. We should move one of them over by the Any key.

It'll be up in the air whether we can do it or not. Christopher is presently sporting a broken collar bone. If he's healed by then, we're in.

No. He fell out of bed.
I felt the same way when I broke ribs playing ultimate frisbee. Why couldn't it have been cooler?
If it makes you feel better though, I fucked up my knee a little yesterday. I was getting onto the BGT by blakely and endo'd when the ditch turned out to be a little deeper than I thought.

I hope these are the ones with the bifurcation snaps. I'm not sure I like the idea of a kilt on a trike. Even after a year of biking I don't think I have the body to properly wear a kilt, unless its 100 degrees out in the middle of a Nevada desert. Then it doesn't matter.

Normally I would say skivvies with a kilt is gay (because that makes it just a little closer to cross dressing).
However, going regimental wearing another man's kilt is more gay. Plus according to Aaron it's awful damn uncomfortable.
Not sure whether I'm wearing one of my UK's or the Sport Kilt. But I'm wearing a pair of boxers underneath to prevent chafing. I could care less about flashing people.

I wanted the workmans after selling my regular model UK (I didn't dig the urban camo). Certainly not a prude, just giving shit :) I imagine a kilt on a trike could make a great wind brake though.

All right motherbitches. I have two kilts I will LOAN. One is a black Utilikilt, the other is a tartan Sport Kilt.
Don't give a rat's ass if you wear skivvies or not, I'm gonna wash the fucker after you are done. And plan on giving it back when I leave for the evening.

All this talk of man-skirts make me wonder if we should get Utilikilt to sponsor us. Anyone more diplomatic than me want to approach them?
I wore my UK at Interbike as did one other fellow I saw. The bike industry women would not leave us alone to look at the bike parts!
Anyway, maybe we can make this ride more interesting, say with a gift certificate for a Utilikilt fo the most manly man (or woman) to haul the heaviest load!

a) very old and worn tan workmans
b) black origional
c) tan camo

Not me. I'm not more diplomatic than you. Plus, if last year is any indication, there will only be about 5 or 6 people there eligible to wear a kilt.
But, the worst they can say is no.

Oh the kilt debate...
Why not talk to the guys out in Ballard who make *REAL* kilts.
Couple o' local kids working damn hard to make a *nice* product.
They were going to make a canvas one called "the brawler" but they won't cut corners and they realized they could never compete with the mckilts that ar currently being produced.
However, they make the nicest kilt on the west coast, they are local, they learned from a Scot and I am sure they would make a riding kilt with shammy if you asked.
North Channel Kilts rock...
and even someone as undiplomatic as you would be welcome visiting them Aaron!
Just take a flask of Laphroig in and they'll love ya.
