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/
still, i’d rather see this ridiculousness than horrible 2 strokes.
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?
yes, there was a sighting in tucson! jared and i are singlehandedly bringing the joy of the thrustpac to the east coast.
btw mickey- i did these photos in gimp instead of jared…do you approve? i just learned how to get around gimp and need constructive criticism.
you suck at life.
jared is better at bicycle riding and fake photoshop.
next time tits or GTFO.
I’m just playin.
I didnt’ actually notice the photoshop at first, which is always a good sign.
I like to keep you down because I know it just makes you fight that much harder.
tits! wow mickey you are such a bro.
These aren’t cool unless you use them with your recumbent fixie.
It does require minor seat modifications, of course.
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.
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.
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.
someday, mickey. someday.
look like gas burners to me.
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!!”
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
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.
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
Well you kids couldn’t do any of your gas burning if not for the brave boys overseas defending our freedom and democracy.
give me meatspin or give me death!
i feel that we have succeeded in something now that we have a troll.
them boys arent defending our freedom,they are over there protecting our oil supply,who’s bullshitting who here,if you think its about freedom and democracy you are lost
Dave
It’s not about the oil. Its about those god damn sons of bitches worshiping the god damn sons.
Revelations 42:12
Bathe yourself in the blood of the lamb.
Looks like you’re in the wrong brother.
Craigs right.
We should all be on our knees right now.
The internet is nothing but long hairs and heathens.
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 getting a little out of hand.
boy howdy ,you got that right jar,now i am a long haired heathen,well i was long haired heathen long befor it was cool,still am and proud of it ,looks like i pissed some folks off ha ha ha,boy have the brain dead rednecks come out of the woodwork or what. LMAO
I think Dave is a long-haired heathen sucking on the tit with his finger in the pie.
Amerrica! Fuck Yeah!
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.
