I continue to be puzzled as to why people feel the need to haul so much crap with them to transition. X2 on that. Or why they need a place to sit. But, if they and their bucket don't get in my way, it doesn't bother me. |

But, if they and their bucket don't get in my way, it doesn't bother me. I was all over that until I realized the top didn't open up into a cushioned backrest with some type of cushioned seat as an interior lid. Now....I'll just stay wit the bucket. I can't explain the need to sit down......but I'd sit and have a beer in T2 if I could. I enjoy pulling my socks on, taking a drink, and just enjoying the sight of people running around like maniacs in T1. I don't race anymore......and on the rare occasions I get to do an event that doesn't conflict with what my kids are doing, I'm just there to enjoy the day......on my bucket. |

I'm generally opposed to buckets in transition, but ^^^this^^^ sounds like a good idea to me.

Master 8247 Eugene, Oregon Bronze member | Subject: RE: Transition bucket improved! Couple issues: 1. I can't see how one actually rides the bike with this thing attached to it. 2. The "packed box" weighs more than my bike! Don't understand the sit down business either. If I sat down in transition, esp. T2, I'd never get back up. I'd only sit down (well, probably lie down) in a race if I was about to pass out. Agree, it's a non-starter. But if anyone wants to set up a margarita machine in the space next to me in transition, I'm game. If they made frozen ones, that might be a real hit in tropical races. |

Yeah, I agree with HR, it does seem like the answer to a question that nobody asked, but I'd still like one of those frozen margarita machines in transition, or I guess it would be more practical out at an aid station.

Ok, so how about this: Two margarita machines strapped together so they hang over a top tube, kinda like the box. Boom. Mobile Margarita Dispenser! |
