Cargo!

At the same house in TN. Appearently those are old battery boxes.

Pizzaween Two!!

Pizzaween this year had a realitively good turn out, especially when it came to the freakbikes. For the first time in a long time the majority of the bikes on the ride were freaks. I didn't take too many good pictures, especially of the fun stuff because I was busy doing it. We played a few games of hard-contact freakbike footdown which many wheels. Later we played throw the wheel, drink the booze, and tallbike jousting. Whoever took the pictures of the joust couldn't be bothered to stand up, and it was dark so none of them came out. Oh well. Full album here.

Austin Polo Bike

Spotted this one behind a food co-op Austin, TX.  It's nice to see a polo bike that isn't just some hipster bike with color matching and an excuse to have "disc wheels".  The person who made this one has the right idea.  Fat tires, reasonable gear ratio, platform pedals.  It could use a hand brake, but what really sells it is the welded-on horizontal drop-outs.  Rear axl looks pretty damn beefy too.

Italian Tandem Tallbike

This one was submitted by reader Rocco.  Here's a link to the post.  Check out how tall that thin is!  It looks both junky and quality!  Even has double brakes!

Also, I'm going to start throwing some related links of bikes found on the internet down here:

-A classy black and white one, 2

-Tandem tallchopper

-Extra-fancy half-tall

-Extra-junky half-tall

-With iPods?

-Old school massive half-tall

The Old Shed

Here's some pix from my old shed at the Howie Hilton when I lived there. They were also kind of exploding into the yard.


Mine and Schuyler's tallbixe.


Badass vintage cruiser and my beloved chopper.

Bike Move '09

Back in '09 I moved from one of house to another. My parents came down to help me move the bicycle collection that took my entire back yard. With a trailer and a truck bed we ended taking two loaded-down trips to get it all...

Cart Bike!!

I just realized I never posted this amazing beast. Me and Brian built this thing back in the deadly summer '09. Held together with U-bolts and hose clamps. No cuts, no drilling, and absolutely no welds. Rear suspension, 21 speeds. The basket is a shopping cart. It need at least 70 lbs. in the basket to function at all.

Lots of candid pix of some of my other beauties from the time.







A broom stick and two stems hold the two front wheels straight.

More forks U-bolt to the cart.

Orlando, FL

I know it's a bad picture, but take a good look. Note how the seat-post tubes are connected. The new seat-post (threaded pipe) is held on with hose-clamps and everything is secured with with fuckin' fiberglass!! This was sitting in the carport at Mooj's house when I stayed there.


This was in the carport, too. Unfortunately it is short two wheels and a crankset. Oh well.


Another one that was out in the carport. Why weren't any of these bikes in use?


Brakeless fixie MTB at the same house. I rode this one a fair bit. Very nice.


Mooj's Pake fixed gear with a very large MTB front wheel.

Prawn Bike

"This bike-riding prawn is one of my favourite things in the Museum’s collection. I both love it, and am deeply suspicious of it."  

Seems to be a prop from an Olympics ceremony.

Cannondale Reverse Bike Adapter!

WTF!  I guess Cannondale is getting in on the freakbike market.  Freakbikes 5 years from now will be professionally-made.  Walmart will have tallbikes and hell will freeze over!

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.

You Suck at Photoshop When....

.....you make a monstrosity like this.  It's like they didn't even consider how it could work.  The oval front wheel with two hubs that are chained together is hilarious.

Honestly, This is Interesting

I know you've seen bamboo bike frames before, but this is way cool.  This bamboo was actually grown in the shape of a bike frame!!  That's brilliant!

Woah.  Great idea.  I think I might abuse it though by riding to top and bombing down the hill.  Pretty awesome hill.
