I bought an Xtracycle on a whim yesterday. This nifty contraption is a frame extender: it pulls the rear wheel about a foot back and inserts an extra heavy duty rear rack over. The rack can easily carry as much as a trailer — 200 lbs, to be exact. Best yet, it’s almost ideal for carrying passengers on board.

I’m not exactly sure how I’ll use it (for passengers? cargo?), but it will allow me to carry much, much more extravagant picnics, and maybe help to feed Critical Mass in a very literal way.

Plus, it comes with rockin’ stickers.
