"The jumps are only a few miles away, so Greg said it doesn't make sense to drive there. Therefore, he created the Commuter/BMX carrier. Greg came up with some clever and creative ways to haul the BMX bike and the front wheel. For instance, the 20″ front wheel is attached to the fork of the commuter with a fabricated wheel holder. This holder allows the front wheel to tuck right under the front basket of the commuter."
"But, this is not just a BMX bike being towed by a commuter; there is some real thought in the design. For example, the bottom bracket and cranks are the same on both bikes, as well as the brakes. When Greg arrives at the trails, the pedals are easily swapped between bikes, the BMX is assembled, and he hits the jumps."
A Bellingham builder designed a commuter bike that tows a BMX to nearby dirt jumps, avoiding driving for short trips. The commuter features a fabricated wheel holder that tucks the 20″ front wheel under the front basket and fork dropout mounts on the rear seat stays to secure the BMX fork. The BMX includes a kiddie trailer tow hitch on its rear chainstay for a dog trailer. Both bikes share the same bottom bracket, cranks, and brakes so pedals swap quickly. The commuter frame uses Reynolds 853 steel and both bikes carry custom LOAM Equipment bags.
