Amazing DIY Cargobike!


























This is amazing!  I can't believe how much work must have gone into this!  I've considered trying to build something like this, but this one is the bee's knees!  Also, mad props for the ugly paint.

Danny and the DEMONCYCLE!



















































Great bicycle-safety propaganda from yesterday.  Somebody ought to build a replica demon-cycle...you know, without the possession-by-satan thing.

DIY XtraCycle

I really like how this is done.  Super-simple!

5-Wheel Cart Bike w/ Umbrella

I just finished building my cartbike, which too about a week, and while we were working on it, I was scouring the interenets for ways to improve it and make it easier to ride, and I came accross this feller.

I found the picture on this site, which has 28 pages of different silly bikes with short descriptions.  Pretty cool.

Features & Benefits of a Fixed Gear Bike










































I thought this was pretty funny.

Max Chen's Rideable Art

Max Chen has some great bikes.  Everything from freak bikes to crazy frame alterations.  Enjoy.

Plant Bike

Pretty self-explainatory.

Brian's Neon MTB


























Posting my own bike reminded me to post this.  My friend, Brian, got a mtb for free, so he decided to make it into something he would actually ride.  The painting process took the better part of 3 days and by the end I was tired of looking at the stupid thing that I didn't even care, but it came out really nice.  It was also SS modded.

My New Fixie

Schwinn LeTour III frame with original stem, bars, cranks, and front wheel (for now).  Brakes removed and replaced with a cute little safety brake.  Seat from another bike, and the rear wheel is Swift Arriv fixed/free.
