We rode 46km return to Omokoroa for lunch at the Boating Club. Truffle had a couple of runs and a swim on the journey. I rather like the flex arm setup with me able to pedal with straight knees. Our kids drove back leaving same time and we beat them to Bethlehem with them having to stop as we used the pedestrian crossing 😅. Tauranga traffic!

If you have Series One Buddyrider and wish to change to a Flexarm unfortunately you also need to purchase a Series Two receiver.
I will set up a combo for those two products when purchased together. Because the spend exceeds $100 it will qualify for free shipping.

I've been supplying the Series Two Buddyriders for several months now and in recent weeks the new Flexarm.
I've still been riding with Truffle in a Series One. So thought I had better familiarize myself with what I sell so fitted a Series Two with a Flexarm and we went for a 33km ride this afternoon. As you see in the photo, the Buddyrider sits higher above the handlebars. I could have lowered it a little bit with the two goosenecks but was comfortable with my initial setup. Although the centre of gravity is higher, the bike still felt stable. It was funny looking over the top of Truffles head and ears.
But, the best thing was I can pedal now with my knees now vertical as they were below the Buddyrider.
My setup doesn't require the Flexarm but it does make for an improved riding experience.

Sorry, confusion reigns.
The discounted price on the Series One is indeed $239.00. The text I sent my web manager was wrong. All corrected now. I have nine at this price plus 4 display stock that are unused and assembled so will have to be collected from my home. $200 each for these.

Series Two Buddyriders are now on the website.
Good news is that the price remains unchanged.
The original Buddyrider is reduced by $40 to $249 and they remain an excellent product. Many hundreds of happy kiwi cyclists using them. I have 10 remaining so a great chance pick one up.

There's a lot of interest in the new Series Two Buddyrider. The adjustable paw deck is the most impressive allowing fine tuning to how your pet likes to ride. The lower position will be great for long backed breeds like Miniature Dachshunds.
It has a greater range of fitting the basket to the support arm, and the receiver is now shaped on both sides to grip the seatpost better.
Best of all, the price remains unchanged.
I have a dozen Series One remaining in stock and am offering them at $50 discount.
Both items will be on the website in a couple of days.😁

I have given our cars a wee promotional boost.
Photo was taken on the W2K cycle trail near Kinloch Lake Taupo.

Spent 4 days at Opotiki and rode the dunes trail. 22km from the motorcamp return. An easy rolling trail following the coast to the East. Beautiful views and pristine weather as we rode it twice this week. Thorough recommended

Series Two Buddyrider has arrived and replaces the original product.
Main points are:-
The seat itself remains unchanged and maximum recommended weight remains 11.5kg. The existing cushion fits both.
The paw deck is now fully adjustable to suit your dog's riding preference.
There's more adjustment when fitting the seat to the post and the bolts have been upgraded.
The receiver is now shaped on both halves to fit the seat post more snuggly. Have a look at the photos!

My new Buddyrider stock arrived today. 140 units of the new Series Two that has some small improvements on the original Buddyrider. I will assemble one tomorrow and take some photos showing you the changes.
Pricing of the new stock yet to be fixed once I have the shipping invoice. Hopefully little change if any.
I have 10 units of my old stock and will special these out.
And FINALLY I have received my cushions ordered and paid six months ago. They are back "In Stock " on the website.
Hope you've been out riding and making the most of our Indian Summer. Kathy and I took the caravan down to Napier a month ago and rode 65km around the wineries loop and 48km return out to Clifton at the base of Cape Kidnappers. Lovely Cafe at Clifton.
Last Saturday we joined a group ride on the TeAwa River ride 54km return from Hamilton Gardens to Cambridge
We hope to head across to Opotiki next week and ride some of the Motu trails
With Truffle of course.

We finally got away in our caravan staying 3 nights at Taupo. Rode 80kms over two days in both directions out of Kinloch. W2K then K2K. Yesterday's included a hop between two bays to rejoin the track for the last 10km back to the car. Truffle did an impressive number of kms running ahead of the track. The complexity of the tracks meant we rode at Fox Terrier speeds. When she slowed it was back in the Buddyrider for a few more kms. Lunch stop at lakes edge required continuous retrieving of a stick. When we got back to the car she still wanted to chase her ball!
She did sleep well both nights, as did we.

Christmas is upon us and summer is finally arriving. Time to get out on those trails with your Pedal Pal. Buddyriders are a popular gift this year and there's a steady stream of them heading away with the courier. I have plenty of Buddyriders in stock and NZ Post Courier usually gets them to their destination within 24 to 48 hrs of dispatch. Unfortunately I have run out of cushion inserts whilst I impatiently await delivery of my order placed two months ago. I mean, Sydney's not that far away!!
Wishing my customers a wonderful Christmas season and safe and happy cycling adventures over the summer.😊
