Included are pictures of how I made my own wide loaders in a couple of hours with hand tools.
1. Sawed some plywood
2. Stuck some dowel into the appropriate orfices. (Wood mallet is a good tool here.)
3. Fastened the plywood with hose clamps to the dowels.
4. Voilá.

Parked outside of the Hiller Aviation Museum @ the 2009 Vertical Challenge.
I go to this every year... I LOVE IT. This museum is really a unique treasure for the peninsula. Go check out the back story of Stanley Hiller and his bubble copters.

Xtracycles are the gift that keeps on giving.
This Xtracycle was formerly owned by Jerry (
#33 on the X'Gallery).
Read the touching story of a Xtracycle that found a new home at
26 Inch Slicks.

Custom Xtracycle, Pugsley style!
Photo courtesy Chris (
more pix here).
This is a custom built bike by Banjo Cycles here in Madison. It has been dubbed the Big Dumb Pug. It is what happens when you leave a Pugsley and Big Dummy in a closet overnight alone! I just got it built up yesterday and rode it downtown…For Wisconsin winters, this bike will get me to the store where my others will stop dead in their tracks!

Who's fault? It's the asphalt!
