My Bucketbike just kicked your "swagger wagon's" ass

the getter

Call it what you will, Swagger Wagon, minivan, whatever. My Bucketbike is still way cooler.

I've written on my love of the Bakfiets, so I won't get all misty and stuff, but seriously, I love this thing!

I carry the boys and our groceries in it. I get exercise. I get to be much more a part of the boys' conversations (as opposed to when they're in the trailer or on the trail-a-bike).

And everyone smiles at us when we go by.

You know what pisses me off?

This.

Sorry.

So.... we moved to Portland - Sellwood, to be precise - right next to the Spokane bike boulevard, to be even more precise....

Nikki is finishing up the first week of her last rotation. 5 more weeks to go! She's already been offered a job, right here in Portland!

I've been working at the Gartrell Group, doing GIS project management and other geeky stuff. I ride my bike to work every day - a twelve-mile roundtrip (unless I have to run home to get the boys, then it's 24!).

Oh, and we got a bucketbike...
