Gonna be tall bikes after I get some sleep. Hey, lookie there!
Closer to Bicycle Heaven
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." |

A tallbike 003 is in the works, when it is complete we shall joust.
