Hi, been a while
I have been in a grind of long commute and little hours for fun, no ecomodding, no creative stuff.
I trimmed the commute down every which way, I drive the beetle to the closest Sounder train station with the bike on the back.
With my MTB on the back like a ginormous drag chute, I get mid 40's at best.
No, I will not consider any other mounting system or try to load it in the back
I take the bike for the last 3 miles to work and for cardio. I spend an average of 75 miles a week on the bike, and hope to gear up and continue through the winter, except for snow and ice days.

I divide my transportation between my bike, the city bus (w/ free senior pass) and a car that sits there and wants money. Just without the pressure to be anywhere.

Here's the bike on my Superbeetle:



That was the shortest STOP sign I could find.

I know the feeling. I figured I’d have resto work on the SS much farther along. Ain’t home otherwise. An hour or two here or there.
