That picture of me with the Tour Easy loaded with about 60lb of gear isn?t just a show piece. I actually rode the bike loaded with all that gear from Smyrna, GA to Rockmart, GA on the Silver Comet Trail on registration day, averaging 15 mph. The bike was a bit heavy to heave up onto the double kickstand, but it was stable. I gave all that gear to the baggage haulers each day though. I rode the bike with a tool bag, two water bottles, and the ERRC bag loaded with tools, rain gear, extra tubes, Power Bars, and a telephone.
It was a grand trip, beautiful, fun, and a real climber.
