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.

Schwinn varsity and my free-parts klunker.

Brian's Tallbike Build

With the help of Sam L. we made a pretty damn sweet tallbike.

Starter frames: a Murray(red) and Raleigh(blue)

Finished product

Bad Idea

Turns out there is such a thing as too drunk to build a bicycle.

Spoke Bracelets

I can't quite remember who's bracelets these are or where they came from, but I know the gracelessly bent-up chunk of spoke around my arm.

PIzzaween '09

Halloween - Pizza Crew style!!! One of our better rides ending whiplash, jousting, and polo.

Trilogy of over-sized bikes.

Plaid Bros.

Hurricane!

Whiplash

Polo

Tallbike jousting.

Wheel truing!

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...

Tallbike Tattoo

That's right. I got one. Jail-style. In Ida, TN.

Isidro on a Unicycle

Montevallo, AL

Kyle's Krazy Bixe!

Austin, TX

This bike was designed as a sail-bike. Like, with a damn sail! The sails can be removed so you can just ride with huge, crazy training wheels!

Solid tallbike. Two extra welded-in support bars. The steering connection is way cool. I didn't take a picture though. )=

Austin Critical Mass

Pretty good critical mass. A few tallbikes, a cargobike, lots of hipsters on fixies.

Austin, TX

As expected, Austin had some great bikes in it.

Tallbike with fucking antlers!!!

Excellent cargobike make from shitty bikes. The basket is so cool because the guy is a furniture builder by trade.

Sick DIY stretch bike.

Window washer's trike.

I love these old cargobikes.

Some recumbent. Check out the handlebar setup.

Ice cream trikes are everywhere in Austin.

Austin Bike Zoo!

These bikes were showcased for the grand re-opening of the Austin Yellow Bike Project. They have other crazy animal bikes that weren't out including an 80' rattlesnake! Wowzers!
