My First Tallbike

The tallbike that started this whole addiction. I've posted a picture of it before, but that was well before I painted it. I also installed a bunch of bells on the handlebars. It's the shortest tallbike I've ever been on, because it is made with two mtb. frames and has no extension in the bottom seatpost. Also, it has the ugliest weld you've ever seen.

My Gainesville Tallbike

Gainesville, FL again

Spotted this ugly beast by the craft store. Note the cyclo-cross tires.


Dutch city bike. Utility and style!!

Bandaged Bike Ride (Tuscaloosa, AL)

A ride to raise awareness of cyclists injured or killed by motorists. It ended at the courthouse with some circular rambling by some of those city officials that love us so much.

Some different pix from a different camera.



Dumpstered pizza and old bixe. horay!


post-ride bike wad.

Pizza Crew 2/19/10

Brian should go pro.


Check out the metal bartape.


Group parking garage bomb.

Maggie and Sam's Tandem

Pizza Crew members Maggie and Sam's shared tandem. Cute.

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.

Some of the freakbikes me and Jacob made.

A New Bikething Era

A new bikething era has finally dawned. Since my last post, I have seen and built lots of awesome bikes, even though I did sell off almost all of my bikes before I did. It had to me done. I needed to be free of my possessions and go travel the world goddamnit.

The content of this blog will not be reposts of shit I found on the internet. Instead this blog will now contain the pictures that I have taken in travels of interesting bikes and bike events. So, you know, enjoy.

Check out how these handlebars are set up.  I'm so about to rip this off.

LOTS of nicely-taken from some BMX throwndown.  This picture is from a game of foot-down.

Cargo Tallbike

Looks like a fixed-gear?

Be sure not to miss the shark bike.

Dog BMX

What isn't rad about a nice BMX bike covered in a stuffed dog!?

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.

Bootleg Sessions v.3 Full Trailer

As always, it's hip as hell, but the tricks are still impressive.  I still can't understand how these kids jump off of shit without getting flats or wrecking thier wheels.

Backwards Bike

That looks like a challenge to ride.

Dual-Steering Tandem!!

Good god!  What a great idea!  I'd love to take that thing for a ride.

A few more creative tandems and tallbike on the link.

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!

Bicycle Carnie Game

"These photos were taken during an exhibition in the Tulip Festival in Ottawa. The exhibitor offered to challenge anyone to cycle on the bike for a set distance. I paid $5 for three tries. I didn't make it.

He managed to cycle smoothly in circles, which I'm guessing took a lot of practice. But he claimed that three people managed to do it within the three tries. I don't believe it!"

excellent!

Wooden Bikes at Maker Faire 2009

Found via none other than the Make blog.

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.

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.
