     Awe-inspiring or frightening?  That yeller one's pretty tall, up above my head.  One climbs up from a handily located newspaper box, light standard, or trash can.

    Tallbike -001 was born one Saturday and the Sunday next.  Suprisingly sturdy and actually nimble with 5 speeds more or less and a giant front crank for constant spin creating a flywheel gyroscopic stabilizing force.  It feels that good if that's not exactly it.  Just like riding a bike.  Tom is 6 foot something, shown teetering.

Bubbles hates this bike the most.  It is clunky, crooked and looks like a coffee beverage.  Double short, rrgh.  Prone to frequent unchaining and constant wobble.  Reinforcer of the idea "chain rubbing = bad."
