| Created
for commuting, this Schwinn 21-speed mountainbike's features grew to
include a custom-built alarm/lighting system, AM/FM tuner with stereo
speakers, Compact Disc player (mounted on my chest to absorb shock and
prevent skips), and a telephone. My "utility belt" included
a mini tire pump, tool kit, LOTS of rechargeable batteries, a color
TV/Game system (in case I got stranded somewhere) and a 5-watt CB radio.
All custom graphics were created with 3M reflective vinyl sheeting for
maximum visibility at night. Based in Pasadena, I would ride to Highland Park, to Canoga Park, to El Segundo, or to San Dimas- everywhere. Sometimes I'd go more than 50 miles a day, back when I was in good shape! And no, you don't want to know how much it weighed. All of the goodies I had packed onto this thing earned me the nickname "Rolling Entertainment Center". The ECP has been the subject of 3 Magazine articles, 2 TV news stories and has been a special guest at several car shows and the Doo-Dah parade. |
