Super Monkey Fun

That’s Bryan Rhoads and Todd Fahrner riding a Super Monkey, a sport utility bike built with a Surly Karate Monkey, Xtracycle and Stokemonkey electric motor assist. We’re building one of these up right now, as a Bike Hugger project, and will blog the whole thing this Fall.

For the bike geek, the Super Monkey is a 29 incher with 26 inch wheels. “What the?” you ask … details here and photos in our sport utility bike gallery.

I shared that look on Bryan’s face, likening it to taking a kid to the fair and putting them on the tea-pot ride for the first time, when I rode the Super Monkey. Besides the utility, it was just absolutely fun.

I don’t think Cavendish will win the green jersey, let alone come in second. He’s proven to turn in his race number as soon as the course: Matthew on "Tour Predictions: Seconds matter"
It’s interesting that Team Type 1 had a pro in the race last year and lost. No pros this year and they win.: Diabetes Insider on "The long and winding road - Diabetes and RAAM"
