What makes me feel pretty awesome? Fitting an entire cart’s worth of camping trip groceries in my Big Dummy.
What makes me feel more awesome? When I’m pushing said cart out the door and the nice cashier says, “Do you need help to your car with all that, miss?”
A relatively light load of groceries compared to what I’ve hauled before….
Awesome!
Norwegian artist Markus Moestue transformed three humble bicycles into this ferociously awesome Dinocycle. The dinosaur’s body, which is modeled after a Coelophysis, was carved out of polystyrene and coated in fiberglass. After completing his creation, Moestue took his creature for a ride around southern Norway.
According to VG News the raptor bicycle is now up for sale. The bids immediately began rolling in, however Moestue isn’t really concerned with how much money people are wiling to offer. He’s much more interested in finding someone who wants to do something particularly interesting with this wonderfully unusual bike.

This tree is a favorite spot on my commute. Who else has noticed cool stuff when you ditched the car and went by bike?
Why I Biked to School for a Year

This kid is awesome! What a cool story.
I was wishing I was heading on a big adventure instead of to work this morning, with my camping gear loaded up. The second round of groceries for an overnight with 2nd graders will be my evening Big Dummy challenge.
What a slacker poster I’ve been! Between my job moving, and trying to post regularly to another blog, I’ve missed documenting some serious Big Dummy fun. As camping season gets started at school, I’ve been figuring out all sorts of creative propane, gear, grocery hauling setups. All this stuff goes to school tomorrow… To be continued!
