but before i leave tail i also want to show you a shuttle bus or shuttle van that comes around and six passengers to take back to various campgrounds so that you do not i repeat do not have to drive drunk or bike drunk and that way you will not get a ticket or end up in jail and this is very important so they're getting a right to one of the campgrounds or a couple of the kids and with that i will be saying goodbye as i head back to my vehicle to head out of town i am currently standing in the small town of livingston montana this particular street as i drove by after getting some gas caught my attention it looked fairly historic and i like the mountains in the background so i thought i would do my closing piece of meister sturgis two thousand and twelve trip oftentimes when i've done this i've had my brother with me he did not make this trip so i made it by myself and of course driving by yourself you have to pull over occasionally and take a few naps just can't do all that driving without a little bit  so it's going to take me a little bit longer than i anticipated to get back to seattle but i'm still having a good time sturgis overall was good  there are some changes that are going on and sometimes it's more of a feeling than actual something you can notice but it  in some ways i think some of it's becoming a little more corporate which i think is going to hurt surgeons in the long run and oh another thing that i saw was that  that says bike week that i have previously purchased without realizing it has been relegated to work t shirts because i will not wear them as as a nice t shirt and like what i'm doing right now it just isn't going to happen because it's a rally in race and i hope that they understand that because bike week is daytona rally in races for them black hills motor classic is   the seventy fifth will be the next real big celebration so if you want to go and not have as huge a crowd i would actually suggest going either next year or in two thousand and fourteen because two thousand and fifteen will be big  just not sure what else anyway it was it was good overall there were you know like say there was a few parts that kind of disturbed me a little bit especially with some of the corporate stuff and then jay allen has own the broken spoke is selling out because he didn't like his partnership with the people who are partners and that's a shame and a few people like the d f t folks they didn't show up oh but before i go i also have to out of the cooler it was still good if you want to if you want to a great deal to save money when you're in search of the buffet of all you can eat it's pretty good shout out to them anyway i'll just end with a shot of this little street here in livingston montana and my sturgis two

watching adventure t turns out they also passed by they have a number for style so that's kind of an interesting as it turns out as i was shooting some footage of the classic by this gentleman happened to stop me and you are just promo of classic cycle what is so special about this  infant riders named jack simes and jack hyde it was their first attempted building a paramount tandem they'd never done one before and it was a special order for us at that time all the racing tandems were special orders and mainly for the olympic games national teams so this was ordered in one nine hundred forty seven and delivered in nineteen forty eight and then raced in the forty eight olympics and then for nor numerous races after that till it ended up after a long career in arizona where it's been converted to a five speed and modernized k if there's anybody around to talk to your other was to see what else is here so i managed to wrangle somebody and she's actually a volunteer coordinator and you are i'm diana larson but cascade bicycle  some local unicycle groups that presented performances as well as right now that is the mountain bike stunt he performs quite a few events for our privacy times at expo for us in the past we've had the german stunt team come over and possibly we may have them back again in the future we also have had nutritional come in speak to where we had some gold medalist with regards to cycling  and present at pretty big event it is and we have approximately two hundred seventy vendors that participate with our wide variety of bikes we had some new fashion items  with regards to how individuals can dress when they're out on the road such as businesspeople on their way to work inside terminal for the last this is our third year here and we're really happy with it it's it was my first time here so it was a little tricky trying to find a place because i'd never been to this spot before it is it's kind of a little bit of a roundabout or any other information that you'd like to make sure that the doing public gets to know about this should come out and next year and visit bike expo and it usually happen around the same time of year it's approximately the same  time in march for more information the website is cascades bicycle club dot org ok well i thank you for your time and talking to the viewers i would like to get back to trying to clear things out  will take a look at a little bit more but before they're all packed away everything everything on two levels and again i never been out here before so this was something new to me and i have never ever seen a bicycle t configuration it's light enough that it's really a lot of fun to ride in any situation so there's complete buy comes in right at thirty two pounds never seen a tire that big ever and if they make it bigger than this really this is a three point eight this is really chosen specifically for the light weight and said this particular model is particularly tired i'm just i'm not even sure what to ask because i've just i've never seen anything quite like i guess it's easy to manage it's actually really rideable everybody should you should set down that microphone and video and go take a first then i might just do that folks so i just came off of writing  around the carpeting here and what i will say is that i i don't think i've ever felt more secure underneath a bike tire or you know above th easy to ride really fun very calm and fire and it's hard to ride this bike without smiling yeah i i was i got a lot coming through because i've never been to this event before and and i got here a little bit late so it's going to be a very short piece i'm doing works really really well so are these bikes are available in the seattle area then i'm sure there's bad bikes that are available here portland oregon where you're from port ok yeah and this bicycle is a bike that we've built on a custom basis and we certainly be happy to build one for you or for anyone else like you ok so people are more information about this kind of bike you have a website that is and you can go to tie cycles dot com and find out all about this bike or any of the other bikes that we've built i cycles dot com ok well we'll let you finish packing up and we'll see what else we can check out here as the show is closing up ok thanks a lot the interesting i didn't get very far when i saw this interesting contraption and you can actually probably fit a couple of kids on the back there of the bike just from the handlebars to the before by changing the way that my steering language works if you see it's got multiple links with an extra headset which allows us to bring the steering linkage under and then forward more efficient distribution of load it also makes it so that we the distance from the fork to the handlebars is closer rides more like a normal bite the back end of the bike is slightly extended sort of like an extra cycle once again to make it so you've got a place you someone could ride this also makes it so we balance the rider and the little between the wheels instead of moving them either it's either a straight through one to one or one point six over drive ours also driven straight straight through the back of the shimano speed is almost one hundred percent range from our lowest gear to our highest gear allows a bike to be able to be like you can probably carry four or five bags of groceries easily in this yes that's the idea the idea is it's a lifestyle piece so this is something that someone could buy and literally replace their car so you'd have the ability to go through and drop your kids off at school on the way to work go to work do your shopping run all your errands on the way home and then you're home for the day without having to use a card on every sold many of these don't have a chicago bikes over the years this is a new concept for me as far as the way that the loads distribute the steering linkage the different shape to the cargo compartment in the front so this one's only been around for about three weeks so we haven't we haven't sold one yes actually this they gave you at this show that this was built for the the national hand built show in denver two weeks ago where we won an award for the use of the gates belt drive ok but so this but this is its debut here at the seattle show it's the you're correct it's the first time it's been shown in the northwest ok well congratulations and again for more information on thai cycles dot com you can find out all the information you want to know
