Bike Chair

I saw a few nice seats using the same concept in a shop in Gainesville.  Baby House needed a chair so I threw this together.  It was not a big hit considering it hurts your ass and you need decent balance just to sit in it.

Unfinished Chopper

I started this one drunk afternoon.  Gave up when I realized we didn't have a back wheel that would fit, a headset that would fit, a seatpost that would fit, or a drill.  Oh well.

Ward's Bike Pile

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.

Rat Bikes, Chicago!

While in Chicago, I stayed at a house and was stoked to see a tallbike with Rat Patrol written on it back in the bike room.  I also saw a nice chopper and pile of etc. bikes.

Tallbike Birthday Cake

Once, my friends Brian and Sally made me a tallbike birthday cake!  PCxBC!!

What the Fuck!?

Here's a "brilliant" "bicycle" I "built" one drunken "night".  It's just some random-ass commuter frame with wheels from a little tricycle.  You can see the fram in the background.  Front wheel drive.  The back wheels fall out when you pick it up.  Plain old stupid.  Actually rides though.

Ape Hangers? Nah, Gorilla Hangers!!

You may have already seen these bars on Big Blue, but we threw them on a short bike first.  The ride is totally crazy because you pretty much have to grip the bars underhand.  

As mentioned in the Big Blue post, these bars deserve their own post, so here it is.  One night while out dumpstering in Tuscaloosa, I noticed a broken trashcan on the side of an alley.  To me it looked like a bucket and two sets of massive ape hangers - and I was right!  Turns out you can get two good sets of handlebars off of any curb in tuscaloosa and all you have to do is jack a garbage can.  Fortunately there are lots of broken ones in the back-alleys.

Wingnut Bikes

Just a quick shot of the bike rack over at Wingnut in RVA.  I got to ride the tandem all the way across town from Food Not Bombs.

I fixed it, right?

A good while ago, when we slept on my friend Krista's roof during Slaughterama, we appearently left a couple tiny wheels under the stairs since a few bikes obviously broke.  When we came back for Best Friends Day and partied on the same roof we realized the wheels were still there as well as a bike that once had a front wheel and no longer did.  Thinking quick (and inebriatedly) I threw the tiny wheel into the fork.  Perfect right?

Strawberry Short-Bus

One day Brian came over dropped off a bunch of exercise-bike parts he had stripped from an exercise bike on the side of the road. A day of two later he came by and dropped off a rusted out 20" stingray knock-off with a Strawberry Shortcake theme. The next day me and Ant made this. It's almost completely stock, but we too the wheel and chain from the exercise bike. Now the rear wheel is a 20" fixed gear wheel with pretty stout gearing and a squared-off, solid rubber rear tire. Rides like a nightmare!!!

Camp Slaughterama

While in RVA for best friends day, we ended up camping on Belle Isle right where all the action happens each year.

Bolt-together Tallbike

This bike is some really crazy shit. We used the flipped bottom frame design from Omahgarsh and the folding steering extension from this Instructable, but did them both in really lazy/tool-light style. The rear, yellow fork provides most of the bikes stability. The small front wheel compensates for the bikes crazy geometry. The entire thing is held together with U-bolts and hose clamps. Surprisingly strong with no welds, drilling, or cutting. The fatal flaw? When the back tire goes you have to take the ENTIRE bike apart to change it.

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.

Badass vintage cruiser and my beloved chopper.

Brian's Tallbike Build

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

Bad Idea

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

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...
