The Big Dummy
A couple local guys, Dave and Nick, invented a new bike. It’s called ……..ta da…… drum roll please……..The Big Dummy. They ride bikes all year round and found a couple things difficult. 1–transporting large cargo like from Home Depot 2–stability in the winter 3–multiple loads like kids and groceries at the same time. So, they made a long heavier looking frame that has extra room for saddle bags, big fat tires and storage compartments. They sold out all 90 of the first ones in four hours. There is now a backload of customers.
It looks Dutch to me. All that is missing here is the Dutch attitude…..ride down the middle of the street at a speed to your liking. Never mind that you are blocking traffic for a caravan behind you. Of course, here in Minnesota that would be called suicide attempt.
Sam, maybe you want to rename your bike….the little smartie

Saw this on the news, too. A great counter to the high price of gasoline. And, of course, wonderful for the health…especially those who decide to quit smoking, Klaas. Hmmm, wonder how long it would take me to ride to Woodbury.

Great Idea. It looks like the bike equivalent to an SUV…although much better for nature!
