Way Back When

Mountain Biking
I enjoy mountain biking all over New England with my wife and four children.

This is a photo of my Jeep Rubicon AWD Mountain Bike at the left. On a bike, all-wheel-drive means 2 wheel drive. That's right, the front wheel is powered and pulls the bike along.

That gear in the front is a drive gear, so power is delivered to the front wheel if the back wheel spins in mud or snow.

Based on a design from Christini, this bike delivers power to the front wheel if the back wheel starts spinning. I have tried it in the snow, and you cannot stop this bike!



Although these gears look complicated and could cause some problems, they are quiet and basically invisible while riding.
