OK, this really shouldn't be buried down here at step 17. Carrying a passenger is sooo important to the Soul Cycle experience. I can't believe how many chopper bicycles I see without a passenger seat! It's one of the best feelings in the world to have your girl on the back with her arms around you as you cruise down a mellow hill, listening to Marvin Gaye, flanked by your friends on both sides, all grooving to the music, YEOW!

I should note that using an Xtracycleas a base bike is the easiest way to add passenger capabilities to your Soul Cycle.

After mounting the bamboo cargo racks to the Soul Cycle, I carved a foam block into the shape of the passenger seat, then glassed it and mounted it to the racks using stainless steel hardware.
