bikes

Also, has anyone here ridden a bike with coaster brakes before?

Just wondering, does anyone here like to ride tandem bicycles with a partner?

I've never tried a tandem bike, but I have ridden on a 4 person bike. Quadcycle? It had 4 wheels and 4 bike seats

Oh, so something like this?

Also, do you see things like this at Burning Man events?

Yes it was similar to that, and yes it was at burning man



There's a lot of custom bicycles at Burning Man

I got a chance to ride a WAW carbon fiber shell velomobile recently, here are some photos I took of the inside and outside. I hope to be able to build something like this one day as I continue to learn about welding and bicycle design. The last photo is of a cruz bike, which was another unique type of bike that the velomobile owner I visited had. I am also still working on the design of my first bike frame, I just need to get more welding practice with thin chromoly steel.

Hey Rachel, I finished writing that paper I promised you. I have yet to hear back on the feedback for the paper, so I will post what I got here.

If anyone here is wondering about the progress I am making on the bike frame project, here is a picture of a freecad rendering of the bikeframe I am intending to build. 3d renderings are especially useful to ensure that the seat tube and the chain stays do not collide.

if u made a wetfish wiki page on your bike project, it would easily be teh best page on the wiki

I think I will make a page once I get to a finished product. Is there a tutorial anywhere on how to do such a thing?

Does anyone here like to ride unicycles? I have been learning to ride one and I am making some progress.

The video seems to work when you open the link in a new page. I am not sure why attached videos from google drive do not show up properly.

I finally got my mitering template software working in matlab. The idea behind miter templates is well summarized on this page here from the bicycle forest. In essence, miter templates are plots that can be wrapped around a tube, with the area above each curve representing material that should be removed by the mitering process.

Whoops, almost forgot, this miter template represents the compound miter on a down tube assembly, with the down tube being mitered twice to accept both the seat tube and bottom bracket tubes. A good example of this can be seen in the figure below, with the down tube needing to be cut twice to accept both the bottom bracket and seat tube.
