Riding Bikes

Sweet! I always did want a Klein. Their stock paintwork was ###### back in the day!!

 

I own a Montague Paratrooper and a Dahon. They ride on passenger seat with seatbelt. I dont get much riding time while working lately, but get quality time on the Recumbents on weekends.
Btw, there is Facebook group Truckers with Bicycles.

 

Wow, I didn't know a few of you forum regulars were riders. I was a roadie for a bunch of years but have realized that it's just easier to walk/hike/run being OTR. I carried a nice Scott Hardtail on a high rack on my rig for the first couple years on the road and it got ridden once or twice. Rusted to bits and I don't even run up north much. Any piece of metal near a truck takes a heck of a lot of abuse, and I hated to see what happened to that nice, expensive shiny metal I paid nearly a grand for. And that's a cheap bike nowadays!

I have thought of getting a 'sock' to put a bike in to take it with me. I just can't see stuffing it in the cab anywhere, even a folding one.

To fit my non folder, i took front wheel off and seat. Put forks down in footwell and draped on seat.
Front wheel comes off the Montague to fit on seat
You will be surprised how much riding can be done from a truckstop

 

Do you ever get in trouble for going on railroads? I went on one before and saw 2 pickup trucks speeding for me. They were CSX staff. I ran before they caught me

 

That's some epic country up there

 

Great pics. I love the purple steel hardtail. I'm a little old-school but to me the steel hardtail is the way to go. I'm on a carbon hardtail right now but definitely miss the steel bikes I've had in the past.

 

Thanks for posting the video - that's great. Glad to know there are other mountain bikers around here. I do a lot of riding in North Idaho - tons of great singletrack around here.
