We Ditched Our Randy Ross Steppers and Got ThrustPacs

The Randy Ross Steppers and Buggy Rollers have been great for riding around the loop on the farm, but it’s time to step it up a notch. In our search for something better, we took our upcoming canoe tour into consideration. We knew we needed something that could assist us both in the water and on land. We wanted something:

F un

R evolutionary

E conomical

E co-friendly

We wanted something to liberate us from the bondage of our pedals! We wanted something with a hand control glove & wire running down our arms connected to a large protruding propeller pack that added 20 lbs of weight to our backs. We wanted the ThrustPac!



We are having so much fun thrusting I don’t think we’ll ever go back to pedaling. Pedaling just feels so pedestrian and barbaric now that we have 20 lb. fans strapped to our backs blowing us around.

Goin’ wherever the ThrustPacs blow us…headwinds are no longer any concern. ThrustPacs FTW!

    yup…i found out about them on drunk cyclist…i guess the dude was spotted in tucson at le buzz and made quite a seen in front of all the spandex yuppies. http://drunkcyclist.com/2009/07/13/go-go-gadget/

    You know, a buddy of mine was talking about having seen someone buzzing around Tucson with one of these. I kind of brushed it off like he was full of shit, but I guess they’re actually real?

      These aren’t cool unless you use them with your recumbent fixie.

      It does require minor seat modifications, of course.

      Erik
      • Jul 27th, 2009 @ 5:25pm

        where are you getting recumbent fixie from, boss? we’ve done trikkes, rowbikes, randy ross steppers and buggy rollers…but i don’t think we’ve progressed to “bents” just yet….soon, tho.

        Lar
        • Jul 27th, 2009 @ 5:56pm

          Oh sorry. I must have lost track amongst all the bicycles you’ve been accumulating lately. I figured there had to be a recumbent fixie in there somewhere. You should also try this thing out with rollerblades or maybe a unicycle. It is very versatile.

        • Jul 28th, 2009 @ 1:02am

          It’s probably in jared’s dad’s garage gathering dust.
          Seriously lauren, come back to tucson, and buy a shit ton of a awesome bicycles and them leave them here. With me.

    look like gas burners to me.

    • Jul 26th, 2009 @ 12:18am

      no way dude. “Generally 25 to 40 miles on one tank of 20 to 30 ounces!! On bicycles we carry a container of gas in our cages where cyclists carry water so we have a reserve!!”

      Lar
      • Jul 26th, 2009 @ 3:15am

        thats not the point,20 – 30 ounces YOUR STILL BURNING GAS,granted 20-30 ounces aint much,unless its bio-fuel, your still on the oil tit.burn calories NOT CARBON

        Dave The Wave
        • Jul 26th, 2009 @ 3:26am

          biofuel still requires a whole lot of the regular ol petrol by the time you plant, harvest, and transport. ain’t nothin’ sacred anymore. i can’t eat broccoli without committing a grave sin.

          Lar
        • Jul 26th, 2009 @ 1:38pm

          hey lar ,dont get me wrong,my share of carbon gets burned in ALOT of other ways,just not while i’m riding.believe me my girlfriends car gets used a lot by me or at least on my behalf,plus i live in florida AND NOT WITHOUT A.C.. i believe we all got our finger in the pie when it comes to sucking on the oil tit,it just kinda struck me as wierd to see a gas burning motor used to push a bicycle down the road

          Dave The Wave
        • Jul 26th, 2009 @ 3:35am

          Well you kids couldn’t do any of your gas burning if not for the brave boys overseas defending our freedom and democracy.

          It’s not about the oil. Its about those god damn sons of bitches worshiping the god damn sons.

        • Jul 26th, 2009 @ 4:26pm

          Not defending our freedom? Are you crazy son? Do you not remember the terribly satanic events of 9/11?
          Those boys are overseas bleeding so that you can sit on your computer comfortably and talk out your you know what. Those kids are away from home struggling to save us all from damnation.
          sincerly God bless you, love Pastor Mike

          This is where normally I would write something horribly offensive and racist to draw flak from some overly serious types via the internetz and some lulz from those watching the conflict, but I think that TI must be checking this blog now.

          However, with that said, I think we reached a thread limit on the site. Congrats, can no longer reply.
