I attached a Piccolo to the back so my daughter could pedal too. When she gets tired of pedaling we set her on the snapdeck. If I have one of her friends on the back I can have a fresh stoker every 30 minutes or so. We put on around 2000 miles together last summer on this rig. Photo courtesy Fred Finch.

Turned my old Bianchi Boardwalk -- that was gathering dust in the garage --into Xtracycle cruiser. Works great in the snow. Looking forward to a fullsummer of getting groceries and such.Photo courtesy Patrick Lalley.

Greetings, Grrsh.
So here's my contribution to the gallery. The donor bike was a Redline Monocog, but since I swapped the single gear for a nine speed cassette, I guess that makes it a Nonacog?
Pics are on my flickr photostream, here
-- Bike Frame Manufacturer: Redline
-- Model: Monacog 29er
-- Year: don't know, bought used.
-- Components: Alex DM 24 rims, Atom Lab Pimp hubs, Maxxis Hookworm tires, Shimano XTM761 Shift/Brake Levers, SRAM 9 Speed Cassette, Truvativ Hussefelt Crankset w/Howitzer BB, Power Grips on generic platform pedals, Nitto Albatross Bars w/shellac'd cork grips, Brooks B67 Saddle, Hayes Mechanical Brakes, ESGE Fenders, WeeRide Kangaroo toptube seat.
-- Install Hangups: The 2.5" rear tire was too fat for the chain to hit the innermost cog, so a 2' tire was substituted. Redline fork had no eyelets for fender mounts, so P clamps and mirror hangers did the trick.
-- Tricks/Tips: Used original stem & straight bars for the seat clamp and stoker bars. Cut the bars down and used the extra stock for the foot pegs.
-- Riding Characteristics: Heaviest bike ever ridden, but surprisingly smooth and stable.
-- Enjoyment Factor: high
-- Greatest Haul: Just completed the bike, so far the biggest load has been a 2 y.o. in the WeeRide and the wife on the back.
Thanks!Photo courtesy
Greg
