Every Day Adventurers

A number of Big Dummy customers have expressed concern about whether or not the Big Dummy will allow the Pea Pod to be attached. Indeed, the Pod is designed to fit the struts to the seatstays of your bike. The Big Dummy doesn’t exactly have seat stays in the same place as a regular bike. As a result, you must attach the Pea Pod to the Xtracycle V-racks. The struts on the Pea Pod are set such that you must either run them on the inside of the Xtracycle V-racks, forcing the V-racks out…or you can run them on the outside of the V-racks pushing them in. The snap deck works in the former situation, though isn’t perhaps as secure as it could be.¬† When running the struts outside, the V-rack decidedly will not fit.¬† As you will see in the photos, our 2nd Prototype TekDeck will work with the PeaPod struts running outside. But the length of the TekDeck doesn’t accommodate another passenger behind the PeaPod. *TekDecks, by the way, will be available later this year.
