"Regions Bank "Lifegreen" bicycle used as one of the first promotional bikes for the AmSouth / Regions merger. Purchased at school fundraiser auction from bank donation. Unique item that will be part of history! Cleaning out and have to make room. Don't want to sell but need the space!"
What? Not only is it crazy to see cool bike on CL Tuscaloser, but a fixie mtb? I can't believe there are two of these here. There is also a purple fixie roadmaster mtb that I see on campus all the time.
I don't care what that kid says. This bike is the shizzz. Totally built for an adult rider. Needs a psuedo-cide wheel.
Gravity bikes are super-aero bikes with no propulsion system other than gravity. These bikes are usually built to be very heavy and have the rider laying down. They range from lightly modified (read: no welds) bmx bikes to full-blown crazy expensive ones. I found out about them from this site.
Small MTB, BMX, and a pixie. Check out the chain setup. It's the triangle style, but with a derailleur and a giant exercise bike chainwheel.
This site has a collection of similar pictures of people and thier folding bikes.
Ugh. I just puked a little. The bike is something I really love - a wacky tandem, but the family is something I really hate. I don't like families, helmets, sunglasses, hands-free phones, racing tights, or USA.
This site has a pretty clever version of the swingbike that they call carving bikes. You can appearently rent these bikes from them for $10 an hour or $30 a day. Looks pretty simple to me. I'm going to build one.
Via this link. Appearently it's for harder regions of Africa where the trip to water is long and the water is unsafe.
Johnny Payphone has a great webpage about vintage tallbikes with lots of pictures and a bit of thier history as lamp-lighting and advertising devices. Also on the page is a vintage ultimate wheel using a pennyfarthing-type wheel.
This site is just somebody's personal site to feature thier unicycles, but they includ an ultimate wheel that they made. I bet it's even harder to ride that a store bought one.
Johnny Payphone wrote a pretty silly history of thier Chicago-based Rat Patrol freakbike gang. Lots of funny old freakbike pictures on there.
This website is sort of interesting. Some American d-hole went to Amsterdam and observed, with a camera, the bike culture in a busy intersection for 76 minutes. It's cool to see the contrast of bike culture, but the writer seems to think that sanfrancisco has it figured out way better. Also, thier writing is waaay repetitive and annoying.
Unicycle.com has some pretty sweet unicycles including these ultimate wheels, some giraffe unicycles, impossible wheels, and something called pedalo.
They appearently are in rough shape and they still $40 each for schwinn's bottom-of-the-line. No thnx.
Nice ones for what seems to be pretty fair prices. Wouldn't it be cool to make a tallbike out of two extra-tall frames?
If you live in the Alabama area and love riding bikes, partying, and eating pizza, then you should do your best to attend the upcoming ride of the Tuscaloosa Pizza Crew. Meet at the Snappy Tomato Pizza on 15th street at 7:30 for pizza, then ride, then party. Everybody is invited. If you want to come and you don't have a bike, leave a comment and I can lend you one of mine. This shit is going to me good.
