Hi Jack. Diesel bicycles are not yet fully developed. E85 either.
Honestly! I think this next post says something about how many non-Airstream directions we are willing to pursue in a week, month or year -- Photog-flyfish-harley-canoe-singles forums? Thread content and tone inevitably has changed at AIR Forums. I speak for many who would not wish to accelerate the dilution of the principle matter at hand. It's AIRforums.com. Thank you
This forum is an expensive visit. Couple of months ago I started reading some of the bike threads, wound up visiting all of the bike stores in COS, test rode a few. Bought two bikes one for me and one for my Bride. Rode my bike home from the store, 3 miles, kinda rough on an old fat man. And it was uphill all the way. I do enjoy the peacefulness of a ride and hope to have time to ride a lot when the weather is good.

Hey 2air, Just bought a couple of xootr kick scooters Xootr Urban Transport - Home Page Kick Scooters and Folding Bicycles We are having a lot of fun with them. Check them out. I also just replaced my bike with a Trek So Ho 4.0. I am still riding the BMW's but I am enjoying the human powered stuff also.
I would love to see a section for bicycles and how they are important to have and use with our Airstreams. As I remember there is even a picture of one on the side of my trailer...
But really, the bikes are always with us and sometimes the reason we go on a trip in the first place.
We are thinking of attending the tour de Georgia Bicycle race this spring and following along with the trailer like the tour de France fanatics do. I think it would be a great way to see the action close up and still have the comforts of "home".
Thanks 2air for pedaling this idea.
Gary
Going to the Nat'l parks of southern Utah this summer and I plan on doing some serious mileage out there. Anyone else going around the end of June/early July?? Want to go for a ride?????

to pedal or not to pedal--hurt my knee last yr.--so now I can pedal till it hurts then motor back--its a 4 stroke subaru-3/4 hp. --30 mph!--too fast!--and is Quiet! made by golden eagle bicycles-lansing mich.
I own at least ten bikes, mostly Treks, and ride nearly every day. I try to do 70-80 miles per week, and it's kind of a hobby to build/rebuild them. There's always one in the back of the TV. Lately, I taken to stripping the paint and decals off the alloy frames so they match my Airstreams.
They just fit together. My friend and I did the STP, Seattle to Portland bicycle ride last year. ON day one, we pedaled from Husky Stadium to Chehalis. (The flooded place this year). I pre positioned Aunt Gladys at a small RV park the day before. We rolled up, tired, grimy and sore, it was 115 miles. Got out, took a shower, nap, walk and ate a huge BBQ over the fire. Slept like a baby, woke up with good coffee and powdered donuts, got back on the bike and finished the ride.
The Airstream was designed for outings like this. Many other cyclist stayed in tents, rented rooms, park benches. We were living in style.
Great fun
