"The ride to NWB was SO NICE! Des Plaines trail from Montrose to North Ave was super fun, smooth single/double track and no mud! Well, probably a lot more mud today. Thatcher was beautiful. It reminded me of some streets in…"

"I have a double and a single BOB, both pre 2015. I have never had an issue, but I have seen them loose, probably after we packed them without the front wheel then when I or the wife put it back on. As a cyclist I know it would be my…"
