E hoʻomanaʻo i kou manaʻo i kou kūʻai ʻana i kāu kaʻa mua? ʻO ia ke kaʻa kaʻa hou āu i kali ai a moeʻuhane nei. Me he mea lā e lele wale ana i mua. Hiki iā ʻoe ke manaʻo i kona pane ʻana i kēlā me kēia neʻe a me ka manipulation. Hoʻolako ʻoe iā ia a nānā i ka maikaʻi. E hoʻomanaʻo i ka wā i moe ai ʻoe i ke kaʻa kaʻa i ka lā a pau i nā hopena pule e ʻimi i nā ala nahele a i ʻole nā alanui kūlanakauhale? A ma kahi o ka hoʻoluhi ʻana iā ʻoe, hoʻopiha iā ʻoe me ka ikaika. ʻO kēia ka hoʻoikaika!
A e nānā i kēia manawa, ua uhi ʻia kāu kaʻa aloha i ka lepo. ʻO kēia hoa huila ʻelua e lilo i mea palaualelo, a hele ʻoe i waho a liʻiliʻi pinepine. Me he mea lā ʻaʻole leʻaleʻa hou ka lele ʻana ma luna o nā puʻupuʻu, ʻaʻohe hilinaʻi e holo hou i kēlā puʻu i lanakila hou ai. Ua kaumaha paha ke kaʻa kaʻa, a i ʻole ʻaʻole i kaʻa mālie. Akā i ka manawa like, ʻaʻole ʻoe e hoʻōki i ke aloha i ke kaʻa, he hōʻailona ia iā ʻoe, he mea leʻaleʻa ia, lawe mai iā ʻoe i nā manaʻo like ʻole a me nā hoʻomanaʻo - ua kamaʻāina ʻoe iā ia me ka pilina. Akā he aha ka mea i hana ʻia? Pehea e hiki ai iaʻu ke hoʻihoʻi i koʻu makemake kahiko?
ʻO ka manawa paha kēia e hoʻonui ai i ko mākou ʻike? ʻO ka lilo ʻana i mea hauʻoli kaʻa kaʻa ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻo ia hoʻi ka wehe ʻana i nā ʻano kaʻa kaʻa like ʻole o ka ʻoihana paikikala hou. Ma hope o nā mea a pau, ʻo nā paikikala nā mea hana no ka launa pū ʻana me ka honua. Lawe nā kaʻa kaʻa like ʻole iā ʻoe i nā pae like ʻole o ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, e lawe iā ʻoe i kahi ʻano hou i kēlā me kēia manawa. Malia paha ua noʻonoʻo ʻoe e kūʻai i kaʻa kaʻa a holo i ke koena o kou ola. Akā ʻo ka holo ʻana i nā kaʻa kaʻa like ʻole e hāʻawi iā ʻoe i kahi manaʻo o ka ʻokoʻa, e ʻae iā ʻoe e hauʻoli i kā lākou mau hiʻohiʻona. Ua like ia me ka hele ʻana i kahi hale ʻaina nani, aia kahi pahū o nā ʻono, ke ala ʻana o nā ʻono hou a me ka makemake e hoʻi hou i ka manawa aʻe…
Inā manaʻo ʻoe ʻike maikaʻi ʻoe i ke kaʻa a ʻaʻohe mea e kahaha iā ʻoe, he aha kāu e nānā ai? A laila e hoʻomaka me kahi mea hiki ʻole iā ʻoe ma mua e uhaʻi i kou manaʻoʻiʻo a wehe i ke ao holo kaʻa i nā ala hou. No laila, e hoʻomaka kākou.
ʻO nā paikikala uila ke ʻano hoʻomohala e hiki mai ana. Aia nā kaʻa kaʻaahi kūlanakauhale a me nā kaʻa paʻa. ʻO kēlā ʻano kaʻa kaʻa hub, ʻaʻole mākou e kūkākūkā i kēia manawa. Akā, he moʻolelo ʻokoʻa nā kaʻa kaʻa waena. Hāʻawi ka mea hoʻokele i ke kōkua ke kaomi ʻoe i nā pedal, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻoholo i ka nui o ke kōkua iā ʻoe iho, a he nui nā ʻano āu e koho ai. Hiki i nā paikikala uila ke hāʻawi iā ʻoe i ke kaʻa kaʻa, ka wikiwiki a me ka hauʻoli. Ua moeʻuhane paha ʻoe i ka hauʻoli o ka iho mau? A laila e kau i luna! Hiki i nā kaʻa uila kōkua iā ʻoe e "hoʻomau i lalo" i kēlā me kēia ʻāina. E hoʻokomo koke ʻia ʻoe i ka hauʻoli o ka hoʻokele. Ua holo ʻoe i kēlā me kēia ʻāpana ʻāina me ke akamai nui. ʻAʻole pilikia hou ka wikiwiki, ʻo ka mea nui ʻo ka mana ʻenehana. Ua piha ʻoe, luhi, akā hauʻoli, a makemake ʻoe e hoʻomau i ka holo. Hiki i ke kaʻa uila ke hoʻopau i ka ʻeha o ka holo lōʻihi a me ka piʻi ʻana, i hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i ka ʻoluʻolu a me ka leʻaleʻa o ka holo. ʻO ka poʻe kānalua a me ka poʻe conservative e ʻōlelo nei ʻaʻole he kaʻa uila maoli, e hoʻokuʻu iā lākou e hele i mua no ka mea ʻaʻole lākou i ʻike i ka mea e nalowale ana. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻo kēia ke ʻano maʻamau. Ke hauʻoli nei nā tausani o ka poʻe i ka hauʻoli o ka holo kaʻa uila, he aha kāu e kali nei?
Hiki i nā kaʻa kaʻa mauna ke lawe mai i ka manaʻo ʻoi aʻe. Hoʻolako ʻia me nā huila haʻalulu ma mua a me hope o nā huila, ua hoʻolālā ʻia lākou no ka holo ʻana ma waho o ke alanui a hāʻawi i nā mea holo kaʻa i mea hoʻoikaika. ʻO ka ʻōnaehana hoʻokuʻu e hōʻoiaʻiʻo i ka lawelawe ʻana a me ka hōʻoluʻolu ma nā alanui ʻinoʻino e manaʻo ai ʻoe he superhero. ʻO ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana i nā puʻupuʻu, ʻo ka wikiwiki o ka iho e hoʻohauʻoli iā ʻoe, a ʻo ke ala lepo i hoʻolaʻa ʻia e makemake ai ʻoe. He mea paahana maikaʻi ia e hoʻoikaika i kou kino a hoʻomaikaʻi i kou mākaukau holo. Me ia, makemake ʻoe e hoʻokokoke pinepine i ke ʻano, a e ʻike hou ʻia kou ola kaʻa.
Hiki iā ʻoe ke manaʻo i ke kilokilo o ka wikiwiki. ʻO Aerodynamics, holo mālie, kūlana kino, ʻenehana kiʻekiʻe e hoʻolilo i ka paikikala i mea ʻepekema hoihoi. Ke hoʻomau nei nā kaʻa alanui e hoʻomohala a hoʻomaikaʻi i kēia ala. E ʻike koke ka mea holo kaʻa kaʻa kaʻa mua, a manaʻo iā ia i loko o kēlā me kēia ʻiʻo o kou kino, ʻaʻohe mea e hoʻohālikelike ʻia me kahi kaʻa kaʻa mauna āpau. Holo nā huila iā lākou iho e like me ka uaki, a holo ke kaʻa i ka lewa e like me nā pahi. E koho i ke alanui me nā hiʻohiʻona nani a hoʻomaka i ka napoʻo ʻana o ka lā.
Ua kaʻa kaʻa ʻoe ma nā ala āpau kokoke a ʻaʻole makemake ʻoe e hoʻokaʻawale ʻia mai kāu kaʻa no kekahi manawa? Akā, ʻo ka holo kaʻa mauna ma ke kūlanakauhale e hōʻino paha iā ʻoe no ka mea he mea ʻoliʻoli ia e like me ka holo ʻana i ka paikikala quad i ka hale keaka. ʻO ke kaʻa kaʻa kaʻaahi o kēia wā he paʻa scalper kahiko. E poina ana ʻoe e pili ana i ke kaʻaahi kaʻaahi a me nā kaʻa kaʻa, a ʻo ke kaʻa kaʻa i ka haʻalele ʻana i ka hana ke lilo i manawa punahele o ka lā. Na ke kūlanakauhale e hōʻike iā ʻoe i ka maikaʻi o ia mea. ʻO kāu hoʻomaha ʻaina awakea kou kumu e pakele ai i ke keʻena wela, holo i kāu hale ʻaina punahele, a hoʻōki i ke kauoha ʻana i ka lawe ʻana. Hele mai kēia kaʻa me nā pale lōʻihi a me nā kiaʻi kaulahao e hoʻomaʻemaʻe i kou mau lole aloha. E hoʻomaikaʻi i kou maikaʻi o ke ola me kēia mau kikoʻī liʻiliʻi, no laila pono ʻoe. ʻO ka wikiwiki, ikaika, lōʻihi, ergonomic a nani, nā kaʻa kaʻa kūlanakauhale e lawe iā ʻoe i kahi kūpono i ka manawa kūpono. He bonus maikaʻi: Ma hope o ke kaʻa ʻana o ke kūlanakauhale, ke hoʻololi ʻoe i ka holo ʻana i ke ala mauna, e ʻike ʻoe i ka ʻokoʻa, a he pālua ka leʻaleʻa a me ke kahaha.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Talk e pili ana i nā kaila mānoanoa. ʻO nā kaʻa kaʻa momona nā mō'ī hoʻopaʻapaʻa ʻole o ke kula. Ua hoʻomaka ia ma Alaska a ua hoʻohana mua ʻia ma ke ʻano he kaʻa kaʻa waho-alanui. Aia kahi leʻaleʻa nani e holo ai ma luna o kēia mau kaʻa kaʻa ikaika a nani. ʻO ka palupalu loa, ka hōʻoluʻolu a me ka neʻe ʻole ʻana ma ke one ākea. E holo ma luna o nā huila momona a ʻo ʻoe ka hōkū o ka hōʻike kaʻa kaʻa ma ke kūlana C: kahi huila ma lalo o 4 iniha ikaika a pololei i kou maka. ʻAʻole kiʻekiʻe ka wikiwiki, akā ma nā pali hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻokuʻu piha i nā kaʻa. Inā he hau, lepo, kahakai, a i ʻole nā alanui i holoi ʻia, me nā kaʻa mānoanoa like ʻole, ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i ka mea e hana nei ma lalo o nā huila. A ʻo ka mea maikaʻi loa, hiki iā ʻoe ke hauʻoli i kēia manaʻo i kēlā me kēia manawa o ka makahiki.
E ʻōlelo kākou ua hele ʻoe ma nā ʻano kaʻa kaʻa like ʻole, akā ke ʻimi nei kou ʻuhane a me kou kino i kahi hauʻoli. A laila e nānā i ka mea hou, ʻo ke kaʻa kaʻa alanui ʻiliʻili. Hiki ke hoʻopaʻa maʻalahi nā kaʻa kaʻa alanui ʻiliʻili mai nā alanui ʻiliʻili (e like me ka inoa i hōʻike ʻia) a me ka ʻāina haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa, a hāʻawi i ka wikiwiki maikaʻi ma nā ala ʻala a me ka lepo me ka ʻole o ka hōʻoluʻolu ʻana i ka mea holo. Hiki paha i ke kaʻa kaʻa e like me kēia ke hoʻāla hou i kou makemake no ka holo. Mai waho mai, ua like kēia ʻano kaʻa kaʻa me ke kaʻa kaʻa alanui drop-bar, me ka liʻiliʻi iki o ka wikiwiki, akā ʻoi aku ka ergonomic a ʻoi aku ka paʻa. ʻOi aku ka piha o nā kaila, ʻoi aku ka ikaika o ka paʻa ʻana, a ua hoʻolālā ʻia nā ʻeke, ka hue wai a me nā mea ʻē aʻe no ka poʻe hoihoi heihei lōʻihi. ʻO ka Gravel me kona ʻano pilikino ʻole e like me ka omnivore. Hiki iā ia ke hele ma kēlā me kēia alanui, ʻaʻole hoʻi e hoʻōki i kona huila i mua o kekahi alanui. Ma ka holo wale ʻana hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻomaopopo maoli i kona hiki.
No ka ʻoluʻolu o kāu kaʻa kaʻa, mai kaupalena iā ʻoe iho a hoʻonele iā ʻoe iho i nā ʻike hou ma nā kaʻa kaʻa ʻē aʻe. Pono ʻoe e ʻoiaʻiʻo iā ʻoe iho, ʻaʻole kāu kaʻa, no ka mea hoʻokahi wale nō kou ola. No ke ʻano o ke ʻano hou a me ke kūlana kiʻekiʻe o kāu kaʻa ke kūʻai aku, ʻaʻole kū mālie ka manaʻo o ka ʻenekinia a pau nā mea a pau i ke ʻano. Mai kāohi i kou makewai i nā huakaʻi kaʻa kaʻa, akā e hoʻoikaika iā lākou. Pono ka mea holo kaʻa ʻoiaʻiʻo e loaʻa i ʻelua mau kaʻa. E ho'āʻo i nā mea hou, hoʻohui a hoʻokūkū i nā ʻano, hauʻoli i nā ʻāina, ʻike i nā mea ʻike ʻole, a hoʻomau i ka holo.
