Ever wonder why all my email addresses and account names are Boneshakerbike? So what was that team I use to be on … what was it? Team Boneshakerbike, and we rode boneshaker bikes made at the hand of Andrew Wellman. Well a close friend of mine finally had a revelation … it’s what I have been saying … the first bike ridden off road (well I assume they didn’t have lots of pavement in 1868).
“Dude, One of the original BoneShakers! I did not think about why that term existed until I saw this today at the museum in Albany. I figure you bike was that name because it was stiff but I did not know it was a term used from wooden bikes…cool. Well, the best part was if felt like you showed up there to connect. Peace”
