Bike carrier with wheel support

Author: Lee Olmstead

What a great bike carrier. Most of bike carriers are supported from the top and require an adapter to use. This carrier uses the wheels of the bicycle and does not need an adapter. Use your 1.25′ square hitch or your 2′ square hitch and wheel mount up to 100 lbs of bikes.

Tow up to 3 bicycles a tilt enabled shell-shaped bicycle carrier rack designed to work with either 1-1/4″ Class II or 2″ Class III/IV receiver hitches. A unique tire-well configuration straps bicycle tires in place on the platform while a 26″ support and 360° grasp locks bicycle frames in place with extra tie-down points.

The entire 3 mount bicycle carrier rack is also able to tilt down as far as 90° for unrestricted access to a SUV hatch. For more information on this carrier and our other great carrier, just go to http://rvfunextras.com/page/bike_carriers_and_ramps

Fishing Memories

Author: Lee Olmstead

How easy to launch and then fish

I can’t think of anything that reminds me more of summer than cruising around the lake on a fishing boat with my dad. He owned a beautiful inflatable pontoon boat. He would take as many people as could fit on the boat (and sometimes more), and we’d fish until it was pitch dark outside.

Most days, we didn’t catch a single thing. I’d usually be so excited by the smallest nibble that I’d yank my pole too quickly and lose the fish altogether, which never ceased to make him laugh. He would swear up and down that he landed huge fish in the lake before, but I certainly never saw one!

Mountain Biking for Everyone

Author: Outdoor-Fun

Mountain biking can be fun for all ages of people, and with new technologies, is accessible to most anyone.  Recently companies have developed mountain bikes that have small electric motors which typically operate on the rear tire.  These electric mountain bikes can greatly assist getting up and over difficult terrain, making mountain bike trails only accessible to extraordinarily fit individuals usable to anyone.

In addition, electric bikes do require pedaling assistance, so you can still get quite a workout even as the bike is propelling you across terrain. They’re also great for riding in urban locations or just around the block with friends and family.
