The Xtracycle FreeRadical kit turns any bike into a long-wheelbase load-hauling machine. Rated for 200-pound loads and equipped with the extremely versatile FreeLoader saddlebags that will carry everything from 2x4s to groceries, the Xtracycle is the ultimate load-carrying system. It's easy to install, tough as nails, and always there when you need to haul something, be it a hot date or a cold keg of beer.
It Will Become Your Favorite Bike
Seriously. The Xtracycle is amazing. It's one of those things that's so useful, so easy to use, so... right, that you'll find yourself falling in love with it. Like a dependable horse, a good friend, or a finely-made tool, the Xtracycle is a joy to have around. That's our fawning testimonial. This is a good example of how the truly practical can become the truly wonderful.
The FreeRadical kit bolts on to almost any bike, extending its wheelbase. The longer wheelbase means that heavy loads are distributed more evenly between front and rear wheels. This not only allows you to carry up to 200 pounds without breaking your wheels, it also makes the bike handle in a very consistent and pleasing manner. It's much more stable than a loaded touring bike, even with an extra person on the back. And it's easy to install. If you don't feel comfortable usinf wrenshes, any bike shop will install it for a nominal fee.
