Finally a work horse donky of a bike that is well built and will be with you till the end. The Donky Bike did a bunch of things right, first of all they moved the load carrying point off of the handlebars and put it on the frame. Sounds obvious,…
When I first read that the first airless bike tire had just been created I had to laugh a bit. As a kid I had a bike with two solid (hard) rubber tires. It rode like crap, but guess what it had airless tires. Now that I have cleared up…
