Bikes..

[AmandaB]

Who is bringing bikes?! And if you have before.. have you had any problems? It is my first year bringing a bike and I don't want my bike stolen!

[Joey]

just make sure you lock it up... if it is left unlocked some one who drank to much will think it will be fun to ride!... every year people loose there beach cruisers! but they are fun to have there...

[JNPatton]

I've always wanted to bring mine but I've hear A LOT of stories of bikes being stolen. Walking sucks by the 3rd day but a little exercise (to work off those beers) is better than losing my bike!

[AmandaB]

Damnit! I don't want my cute black/pink beachcruiser stolen!! Hmmm. We have locks and plan on locking them up while we sleep to the truck.. hmmm. think I'll be fine?

[JNPatton]

My guess, the more people in your camp site, the safer the bikes are. You can always lock the bikes to the truck somehow...

[AmandaB]

Well thanks for your opinions.. 16 days!!! Come party if you see us!

We had our bikes last year. We stayed in a motel, had our bikes on a car carrier and parked on the companion lot. It was great riding our bikes to all the different areas. It's lots of fun being able to cover so much territory. the walking can be brutal.
The downside......
We always had to remember when we parked them..... lock them.
We had lights....a must at night.
We had to put them back on the car carrier when we were done and they went everywhere the car did, kind of a hassle.

We're still deciding about bringing them again this year.

Bring bikes!!!

the reason they get stolen is because some drunk left his at home and is tired of walking so he took your bike because IT WAS UNLOCKED and then rode it to where he was going. I don't think I've heard of any locks being broke to take bikes. I just think its more of a joy ride thing.

[Raquellita]

I bought me a used Auto-bike to take. It belonged to my stepson and has been in the garage for years. Hope it's still in good shape. My only concern is if my feet will reach the ground when I'm on it. DUH! Being short sucks sometimes.

[MissMandy89]

I know how you feel. Just took our beach cruisers to March Meets a bit back and I have to jump from my seat to touch the ground. :(

Well, I reckon I'd better take it out of the garage and give it a looksee. I'll be bummed if I don't reach.

[sandholic]

We bring our bikes each year. Haven't had any trouble but we lock them up while we are at the show and at night. BRING THEM!!! You will be bummed if you don't.

[Reed]

Is it possible to ride beach cruisers up town to the store? from the camp grounds?

[sandholic]

Reed, I am sure it is. As long as you have your wristband on to get back in.

[gogoracer]

It is also very entertaining to watch the drunks on bikes. We saw one poor guy break his nose but didn't spill his beer!!! Here is a hint.... you are not 12 years old and can't do the jumps, wheelies and other tricks you use to back in the day on your bmx. You are on a beach CRUISER....it is for cruising.

My kids bring their bikes but I have to be sure not to ride them after drinking because they are fixies and have no brakes. Yes I am that good mom that lets their kids ride bikes without brakes. Again, entertainment.

LOL, as long as you can reach the pedals, you should be fine. I don't reach the ground from the seat of any bike I own :)

We're bringing (my BF and I) our tandem beach cruiser. Which might make it really hard if only one of us want to ride somewhere. I think I'll have him bring his regular beach cruiser as well so we have our bases covered.

Glad I'm not the only one who can't reach the ground.

But, Chevgirl, should we be concerned if we see a tandem beach cruiser cruising around with no passenger? Your bf won't be drinking and pedaling, will he? Don't want him to lose his passenger!! :D

Shes the DD, he'll be the 'motor' :eek:

Hahahahaha!

LOL, more like he's my chauffer! Whenever we ride it, he sits in front and steers (I've tried twice, he's a lot better at it!) and I sit in back and help pedal. Sometimes. Mostly when he looks back. :D

[Raquellita]

Haha, I think I may get him a rear view mirror....just to keep you on your toes. J/K

[JNPatton]

or a riding crop ;)

[Chevgirl357]

Hahahaha, I'm in the back so that'd be for me. To add to my bell that I like to annoy him with :) So glad my BF loves me!

[Raquellita]

So glad my BF loves me!
We all love you Karena!

[Chevgirl357]

We all love you Karena!

Aww, blushing :p

[calgal]

I'm searching for a tandem! I like your way of thinking!

[Chevgirl357]

We got ours at the OC Fairgrounds (Marketplace, some people say swapmeet) which they have every weekend. We got it...$350 I think?? Between $300-$400, my BF's work pays for it so I'm not sure, but it's this bike place that's pretty much cheaper than you can find anywhere else. My BF sprung for the basket, basket cover and seat covers. We are super ghay.

Sounds sexy.... haha. Also just noticed that you live in CM, you dont happen to drive a Blue Jeep do you?

http://www.pitch.com/binary/136c/pedalhopper.jpg Can someone please design this for next year!!!

[Raquellita]

That would be totally awesome don't you think?

[Chevgirl357]

No sir, a silver Mazda CX-7. Stalkers please ignore what I just wrote.


Girl.. You know you sit back and enjoy your cocktails!! ;]

Haha, you know it! Actually the BF wouldn't spring for the fancy cup holder for me. Or the dice air toppers. What a cheap-o! :p


Coctails on Wheels!!!

Why does "coctail" seem dirty to me, yet "cocktail" doesn't?

YESSSS!!! (I said yessss. Am I 15?)
I nominate KuznEdy to build it.

OOPS! I forgot the 'K'

[JNPatton]

I just realized how stalker-tastic that made me sound. Its a long story but the girl that killed Stagecaoch for me last year lived in CM and a girl with a Blue Jeep that was in the Caravan knew her. I was hoping it wasnt you. haha

Oh no! I don't think I killed Stagecoach last year. Did I? Well if I did, I blame it on the ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-alcohol. Oops, wrong genre.

Actually I don't know anybody in a blue Jeep (that I've met sober anyhow) so I'm like 99.99 (ok, let's be real and say 97)% sure it wasn't me.

[KUZN EDY]

I actually was in the design phase of building one this year! I was gunna get a 11 person surrey bike and do some mods. Cost and time was the issue. We then designed a double tandem trike with a full bar trailer (I posted a pic a long time ago) but again cost and time got the better of me. Next year for sure!

Not sure I'm going to have enough time to find one. Plus...it might be better for the hubby and me to ride our own or I may end up on the ground. Good to spring for a basket and seat covers. I sprung for a basket and beer holder!

Cannot wait!

Had 2 brand new cruisers stolen last year, the first night. I locked them together about 3am and by 8 they were gone, lock cable and all (should have locked em up to the RV but got a little tore up Thursday night) Just get a fat cable and lock em to a bumper.

[festivalfan]

If anyone is interested in renting a bike for the weekend....FunSeekers Bike rental (Palm Desert, I think) rents bikes and will deliver and pick up. I'm pretty sure the delivery-pickup charge is $45. Not sure about the bike rental fee, there is a better rate for multi days rather than a 1 day rental. Phone number- 760 340 3861. Just tell them you read about it on the Stagecoach Message board.

[Raquellita]

Thanks for the info Nancy!
