GeorgeKline replied to the topic wood bikes in the forum Miscellaneous 5 years, 8 months ago
I saw at least 3 wooden bikes a Renovo, and 2 made from 2x4s. Talked with one rider of the 2X4 bike and he claimed it rode nice. Have seen the Renovo bikes before and talked to riders and they say it is a sweet ride.The 2X4 bikes were hand made.

Lara, what are your plans, are you staying in Davenport Saturday night, or staying at a hotel near the airport, that may have a airport shuttle service. Are you flying from Midway or O’Hare? Either is a bit out of my way, but I’m flexible if you can find no better accommodations. My email is georgekline@live.com

GeorgeKline replied to the topic Bags on bike? in the forum Miscellaneous 6 years, 11 months ago
Good points,Mshifflette, I missed the TP and I usually reapply sunscreen at Beekmans, so I do not carry it. Save like about a of a third of a roll of TP ( or a couple for the week) to bring along for paper outages or a visit to the corn field, it goes in a plastic bag to stay dry and I carry in jersey pocket. A couple of zip ties can come in handy…[Read more]

Susan the majority of the riders are 50 Years of age or older, last year a 90 year old man rode, think he rides every year. They put out the statistics of the breakdown of riders age after the ride. Welcome to the insanity, enjoy your ride.
I did find this statistic after some searching 68% of riders are male; 60% are between the ages of 45-65.
