This post is my contribution to sustainablog’s Pedal-a-Watt Powered Blogathon this weekend.
The long-running green blog (and new green shopping site) is publishing for 24 hours straight to raise funds for the Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage in Northeastern Missouri.
Go join the fun: read post contributions from around the green blogosphere, leave a comment to be entered in a drawing for some great green prizes, and join in the Tweetchat at #susbppb .
When I heard about the pedal-a-watt blogathon the post below seemed like a perfect fit for the event.
My son’s bike has a reputation.
He’s very serious about this bike as his method for getting place to place. Gotta love his commitment to it. Come rain, snow, subzero temps you will see him – on his bike. If he has places to go – his bike is what gets him there.
When I lived in the area he’d ride 26 miles round trip for dinner, with laundry on his back!
He picked up this rusted to heck green ten speed Schwinn, for $60 at Working Bikes Co-op .
Someone had converted it to an 8 speed. Already that’s a tad odd.
He switched it out to fa ixed gear, added an aerospoke so that he’d never have to true a wheel again. Well at least that wheel !!

Recently the bike got a new seat.
The thing is a mutt.
