Beach Cruiser mods

The FJ Cruiser is just not big enough to hold the beach cruiser and all the other stuff I need when towing the Airstream trailer, so I upgraded to a Toyota Tundra.

The beach cruiser is in the shop getting a quick-release front wheel so that I can keep the bike inside the shell, front wheel removed, and fork secured to the BedSlide, and under the camper shell of the new tow vehicle. (Finally!)

See The Adventures of Airstream Mikie for more info on the tow vehicle.

Kickstand Magazine, for beach cruiser fans

I just got my first issue of Kickstand Magazine today, and it's excellent!

If you are at all into the beach cruiser lifestyle, then you probably want to check it out because it's only 9 bucks (ok, 9 dollars and 9 cents, but why the 9 cents, I have no idea). The bottom line is that it's totally worth it, with great photos, neat stories, and even the advertising is slick and informative.
