bikes

Hey Fellas,

It looks like the movie about land speed record bicycles is still under production and on track to eventually being finished. I recently donated to their gofundme, and if you have the money to spare I think this would be a great cause to donate to.

I finally got the bikeE tandem recumbent restored to ridable condition, now two people can get bent at once.

Hey username creature, if you read this post, I think you might find the book "Why Don't Jumbo Jets Flap Their Wings?: Flying Animals, Flying Machines, and How They Are Different" by David Alexander, to be a good read. This book covers how different species of birds and flying insects achieve flight and how various man flying machines have been inspired by the principles of bird flight. I picked this book up because it has a section on human powered aircraft, including human powered ornithopters that flap their wings in a bird like fashion.

Slowly been learning how to idle in one place on a unicycle. This skill is similar in purpose to performing track stands on a bicycle, as being able to idle can be very useful when riding a unicycle in traffic.

Wow you're getting good at that!

Here is a demo of how s and s couplers can allow a bicycle frame to be disassembled and fit into a space it would not have otherwise fit, such as this checked luggage. For context, this checked luggage is the maximum size currently allowed for a checked bag.

Thanks, I will keep on trying

This cracked bearing will definitely need to be replaced. I found this issue after I disassembled the unicycle for transport, and this issue probably explains why the bearings felt a little crunchy.

I recently installed some red solid rubber wheels on the DIY bike. These are airless wheels made by a company called Tannus. I will keep you all updated on how this turns out. It seems so far the solid rubber wheels have little shock absorption but are practically immune to puncture hazards.

I tried riding the Tannus wheels on a local bike trail today. The wheels proved intact even when running over some glass shards; however, I also felt every bump and crack in the trail. I did not feel much difference in rolling resistance though, and I think the bumpiness of the ride can be mitigated by lifting myself out of the seat when I see a perturbation in terrain.

Hi fellas, I managed to find some footage of me riding a clown bicycle. These are sold on unicycle.com and is roughly 1/3 scale of a normal bicycle.

I don't know what video encoding you're using, but it doesn't seem to load in firefox. I had to open this in VLC to watch

This is the encoding I am used. I am not very familiar with audio and video encodings.

OK, but hear me out. Ass pump bikes!



Yall ever seen goofy weird bikes? In Fort Collins, CO. There is a really silly and neat festival that's put on every year where the whole city bikes. It's called Tour de Fat, where everyone gets in very colorful and weird costumes and rides bikes through the town. Some folks display very strange bikes and let other try em where there's fun bikes like this one!
