How long did you keep her onboard?

If you plan on cruising out of the US or Canada don't get a bike. It
will just be stolen. We found that if you need a bike while cruising
it is just as easy to buy an old clunker for around $20 or so, while
visiting someplace and sell it to another cruiser when you leave. My
wife and I live on our boat for ten years sailing from Canada to South
American. Now living in sunny SW Florida.

Hi all
we are cruising for 3 years now continiously,with 2 mountain bikes on
board,cheap things we bought in portugal for 49 euro each.since then
they ve proved really must have as sometimes the super markets are
quite a way ,and also you get to want to go out more .... from the
boat i mean ,as it is easy to get to places that without them would
have costed a taxi fare .......
If you are going to cruise north france,north spain,portugal,or even
the med and even if you anchor a lot ,they are not that bad to
have .we keep them when sailing in the saloon ,tied to the mast ,and
our boat is only 31 feet.
good sailing
g

I've got a couple of used mountain bikes I bought for $25 each. Oil
them up good, ride till they fall apart,deep six 'em and buy another
pair. Each pair will last several years.

So that's where the fish-on-a-bicycle joke started. It was YOU!!

Down in Florida many years back, I met a guy cruising with an old bike tied to
his
bow pulpit. I'm sure the salt water did a number on it, but maybe he washed it
down
frequently. He was hopscotching down the coast with his boat. Pedling back to
his
van to move it up for his next leg. He had a small sailboat, thus the need to
keep it
on the deck. Strangely, he had a gimpy leg which he could not bend at the knee.
You have to give him credit, but I always wondered how he pedled his bike.
