Adventures in Motorized Bicycling
Did You Know?
The first motored vehicle (of any kind) to cross the United States coast-to-coast was a Motorized Bicycle, ridden by George Wyman in 1903...San Francisco to New York in 50 days.
Personally, I think that's very cool 
Hello, I'm Augie Deabler, and I am a Motorized Bicyclist. I've been doing this for several years now, and I've had some great adventures. Use the links on the left to see a sampling of the stuff I've done.
NEW! Motorized Bicycle Forum NEW!
I've opened a not-for-profit MB Forum in order to allow my friends & visitors to interact...no sales, no spam, just bikes...check it out!
UPDATES: Autumn / Winter 2011-2012
I've settled in earlier than I intended this season, for a few reasons:
~ From Juneau AK to Bellingham WA to here, Kettle Falls WA, was so chock-full of adventure I'm plum worn out.
~ Above all else, I want to keep traveling...and that means I have to make some changes.
~ I used to think I knew a lot about roughing it in the outdoors, now I do. I'm dumping some personal/camping items from the payload, adding new ones, and upgrading others.
~ I learned an awful lot about small-engines and drivetrains while running the original MB forums, and the real-life experiences of the last 18 months has taught me how to apply it. So I'm designing and building my own 'train around a torque converter, with an eye for slight overkill. The increase in weight will immediately be offset by the fact that I can discard 40% of the tools and spares I currently carry.
~ I really like Kettle Falls...it's a small family-oriented community, and it's quite pleasant to sit on the porch and soak in the slow-paced low-stress atmosphere.
You can watch the development of my new system on our ad-free forum, and you can meet some of the folks (and their bikes) who've inspired me over the years, too.
