Nice ones for what seems to be pretty fair prices.  Wouldn't it be cool to make a tallbike out of two extra-tall frames?

Pizza Crew Ride Coming Up!

If you live in the Alabama area and love riding bikes, partying, and eating pizza, then you should do your best to attend the upcoming ride of the Tuscaloosa Pizza Crew. Meet at the Snappy Tomato Pizza on 15th street at 7:30 for pizza, then ride, then party. Everybody is invited. If you want to come and you don't have a bike, leave a comment and I can lend you one of mine. This shit is going to me good.

MTU?

Mountain unicycle?  I know it's a real sport but I've never seen a specialized unicycle for it.  Note the half-fork, suspension seatpost, and hand-brake.

Note the chain set up in a triangle.  I've been meaning to try this.  Also note the over-spoked wheel.

Wacky Vintage Bikes

The bicycle industry took a long time to figure out exactly what to do before they came to the modern safety bicycle.  This site has a bunch of diferent silly versions of the bicycle.  Here are a few: 

This one is really similar to the modern safety bike, but instead of a chain to drive it, there are just some gears.  

This backwards pennyfarthing seems like an obvious and way superior version of the direct-drive bicycle.  Usual pennyfarthing riding is difficult because the steering is on the same part of the bike as the propulsion system.

Another attempt to improve on the pennyfarthing.  Appearently both of the small wheels steer it.

Clowny Bucking Bronco Horse Bike

The off-center rear wheel makes the bike ride with a bucking motion.  Check out the tiny chainwheel.

Austin YellowBike System

This is cool.  Austin, TX's YellowBike system bikes are all donated and volunteer-restored bikes.  They also offer a free repair shop or space to work on your own bike.

Harry Lawsons Bicyclette

"James Starley's Rover of 1885 was the first successful bike in which pedals and a crank drove the rear wheel with a chain, but he was not the first with that design. In 1879 Englishman Harry Lawson designed and patented a version of a large front wheeled bike with a smaller rear wheel driven by cranks and a chain. Lawson's bike was not very well received, and he went on to design bikes using levers for power transmission. The Bicyclette was a commercial failure, but he had hit upon a superion design feature."
