Hey hey hey, tomorrow begins Week Four of this year’s Three Speed Adventure April Challenge! For the week running April 17 through 23, 2022 (your local time), the theme is:
Three Speeds Carrying Stuff
What do I mean? I want to see three speeds in portage action. Three speeds are useful utility bikes, and they can carry things. These things can be bags, they can be items on racks or in baskets, things strapped and lashed to parts of bikes, etc. Yes, there can be people/buildings/etc. in the shot.
