WELCOME TO MY BIVY!!

Get to know our space (and inability to operate a camera correctly *cough*LANI*cough*) I take you on a quick voyage through our space.  A virtual world unto ourselves, all the while really just being in Lani's front yard in Northeast Minneapolis.  I promise to give Lani the run down on how to operate the camera before our next video...she's a quick learner so I'm sure it'll be better.



Keep sharing the love with us and others...we dig.  WE REALLY REALLY DIG!!

All my love and cuddles,
Maggie

Lani's Gear


Hello THE WEB, 
As promised, here is a list of Lani's GEAR...plus some communal items that weren't included in Maggie's Gear entry.

First up we have Lani's Fuji del Rey mid-80's model with QUITE the upgrades courtesy of Recovery Bike Shop.  Lani opted to remove the classic drop style (horned) bars in favor of a 1 inch riser mountain bike bar with bar end grips, much like Maggie's rig.  She also got a new bottom bracket that's smooth as BUTTER and a new rear gear cassette (8 chain rings) and 3 chain ring crank off of a Specialized Crossroads (the very same Crossroads I sold to Brent, full circle).  Lani went from 14 speeds to an amazing 24 in just a few turns of a wrench from Brent...BRENT, BRENT, He's our guy...shout out city. 

Oozing sexuality
Schwalbe Marathon tires, 700c, reflective side wall

Shimano Alivio trigger shifters

Specialized chain rings and crank

Dia Compe brake calipers

Avecet Touring Saddle

Lightweight seat post mounted fender
Kryptonite U-Lock
Timbuk2 handlebar bag that breaks down into a FANNY.  Lani is SUPS keen on the fanny's so...this was like kismet, not to mention the matching spoke card I made her the same day.  So kindred. 


Waterproof pouch x2


Mace, rapist/murders/assholes BEWARE

EXSTREAM water purifier


Bike pump

LED lantern


Chamois Creme aka Ass Spread to prevent saddle sore


3 inch folding knife

Shammy style camp towel

Hand and feet warmers

Lani's Burley Nomad trailer with cover

Nomad sans cover, look at all that storage
Therm-a-rest self inflating pad, looks a lot like mine it's just shorter for more compact storage
OH LANI...


Northface Cat's Meow 20 degree F sleeping sack

Chlorine Tabs for questionable water

Cook gear all bundled up

Cook ware all laid out


Pillow? Maggie don't need that...Lani does...so pampered


Rope....for tyin' stuff...duh


Cargo net bungee for strapping stuff on top of the burley
BEARS BEWARE!! We won't hesitate to use this...hopefully this is just preventative and not actually needing to be used

Lani's hygiene kit, toothbrush, deodorant, face wash and lotion, bar of soap, Maggie's hygiene kit consists of one bottle of Dr. Bronner's soap...I'm a simple gal

P.S. Did you happen to spot the sick spoke cards I made for Lani and Me?  There are also MN state spoke cards also...hometown pride on the road? Yes we do.




Lani's pit...stay tuned for more on the pit report. We will be lacking in the razor department, so we're just reverting back to how we are meant to be...hairy apparently.
