I must be. Because riding a bike a few miles in jersey shore traffic with a board under my arm doesn't seem like it's gonna work for me...
Get a back with backpack straps. You can put a wetsuit, wax, and fins in the front pocket too. You're champ for riding to the beach. It's getting cold man.
are you kidding me bro? You cant bike with a bodyboard under your arm. I used to bike surfboard in arm, weaving through people on the crowded VB boardwalk on a daily basis. Your just gonna have to man up on this one, its not like your gonna ding your bodyboard or anything if you drop it either.
Thanks man. Yeah it is getting pretty cold out there, but I'm trying to go green and reduce my carbon footprint whenever possible. Plus my lard ass can use the extra exercise...
fins on the handlebars and bodyboard under the arm. This is the primary source of transportion on the North Shore.
This bike shop (www.fenwickbikes.com) sells a cool rack(www.carversurfracks.com) that was designed on the north shore,they have free shipping and no sales tax.
I just found about this company surfsling, that sells slings to carry your boards when you are riding a bike or skateboard. check it out: http://www.surfsling.com
This option may work for you - made with PVC piping and not as cute as the commercial versions, but inexpensive and effective. A buddy of mine developed this for his treks to/from Trestles. http://www.rodndtube.com/surf/info/surf_racks/BicycleSurfboardRack.shtml P.S. Be sure to click away on the Ads by Google to send a few pennies my way
I had an idea for surfboards which I am sure would work for spongers as well. Build a rack on wheels you can pull with your bike like a trailer.
I like that idea as well. There are some commerical versions out there that seemed a bit pricey. A nice, light PVC version would be great... need somebody with the mechanical and parts background to work up a plan like the one posted above. A trailer version would certainly be better for weight balance, wind and navigation.
unbelievable... this is unbelievable... r u serious with this topic... you should carry one under each arm and maybe you will get enough speed to fly to your destination. you might even be able to do a sick "el rollo" on the way. hope that helped ks
Word up bro I ride my bike to and fro as well, but under the arm is not stable for me beacuse I ride a bmx bike and I can't "weave in and out of crowded boardwalks on a daily basis" as BonerSurfs suggests. I nee a lot more control on a bmx than a cruiser bike
