wearegoingawol: Our AWOL friend Martin from e r t z u i film just sent us an update on how to combine being rad in general and going AWOL with a 10 month old daughter. Martin rides a L AWOL Transcontinental Edition. As you guys know, I have a shift in priorities at the moment but before the AWOL hits the road/trail for its maiden long solo tour, I found a perfect niche for it which suits my living circumstances the most at the moment: It’s the family workhorse. I can pull my daughter where ever she (we) want to go using our Chariot trailer with the Thule Alfine adapter Given the fact that I can simply attach any kind of bag (or wooden box thanks to the Globe Porteur) it helps to take the day as it comes and run errands along the way. The bike handles amazingly well despite its initial weight (which I don’t care about because some day I’ll have my fuck you power back) Coming from „regular“ riding geometries it took me a few rides to get used to riding in the bike instead of on it. I also had to play a little with the stem lengths (I am 191cm) but with the 100mm stem it works out just perfect. The tires ride extremely well, both on road and semi-loose ground. Especially when loaded.. so damn comfy! Last weekend, we went out camping for the first time. W h a t a b l a s t ! 60k on a loaded bike pulling a packed trailer with a 10month old child in it felt like doing a 150k road ride… Etta loved it all the way.. We love feedback like this. it enables us to keep on doing what we do and constantly improve the product and Your experience. Keep it coming and Martin, keep on being R.A.D! -- source link
