Here's an incredibly dangerous idea: a brakeless fixie tallbike. I can't get my head around who would build this? What could be the point of building a trackbike/tallbike out of high quality components. Link.

Fixie Tallbike with a Disc Wheel
Here's an incredibly dangerous idea: a brakeless fixie tallbike. I can't get my head around who would build this? What could be the point of building a trackbike/tallbike out of high quality components. 
Tiny Tandem and so much More
I LOVE vintage freakbike stuff. This site has tons of old newpaper clippings of freaky, odd, and diy bikes. Do check it out.
Cycle Truck update!

The Schwinn Cycle Truck has a pretty brilliant design. It's a bike to carry large loads via a big front basket, but what makes it unique is that the basket is attached to the frame and doesn't turn with the wheel/bars, which makes for a much more stable ride.
Atomic Zombie Skywalker Tallbike
Atomic Zombie makes some crazy-ass bikes. They are mostly recumbents and trikes, but there two tallbikes and some choppers that are really impressive.

Wierd Mini-Tandem Bike on Ebay
I don't really understand this or how to ride it. Seems like you would go really slow and clip your pedals on the ground.Link.

Bike Kill 2004
Bike Kill is the anual holiday of the Black Label Bicycle Club in NY. They invite other bike gangs, get drunk, and wreck bikes.
Crazy Lowriders
Here is a great site with plenty of crazy-ass lowriders. I don't really understand this culture of cyclists, but I love to look at what they do. These bike seem almost unridable, but they are cool.
3-speed close up
Okay, maybe nobody will find this cool, but I've never seen a shifter like this. Very awesome.
Wooden Bike
This bike is entirely wood. Even the chain. Most impressive is the wood freewheel. And the builder is only 16!!! They made it for a school project. Check out more pix on the link.
Shiley Tight Bike 3
I didn't realize the builder had finished this when I posted the unfinished one.
See-Saw-Bike
This seems super hard to ride. Seems to be made out of brand new bikes. I guess you can do that when somebody is willing to put your bike up as art. Link.
Tallbike in Peru
Nothing really out of the ordinary on the bike, but I really like the story that goes with it. (follow the link)

Suicide Wheels
Suicide wheels are when extra wheels are turned by other wheels. They are never needed, but they are so cool.
This is what I consider the propper suicide wheel. Note how the top back wheel delivers power to the
bottom back wheel. You have to pedal backwards to go forwards. Suicide.

Suicide.This bike, however, has a chain driving the bottom wheel and all the other wheels are just for show. It's cool, but is it as cool as really impractical danger?
Romantic Face 2 Face Tandem
Looks sweet to me. I found it on Gizmodo which seems to think anything other than a 1-person, 1-frame, 2-wheel bike is the dumbest thing on earth. I just don't like such negi writing.Link.
Shopping Cart Bike
I guess it's just cool. Seems like it would be practical, but I guess not. Seems really well done for something so pointless.Link.

Fastest Bike Videos
Insane downhill MTB! Over 100mph! Bicycle literally breaks in half at 0:46. The squeamish may want to stop watching at 1:04 when they show the rider's face.
This vid is a bit long-winded, but it's pretty impressive how freaking fast these folks can go.
Worst Tallbike Ever
Fast forward to 2:56. That's when they start trying to ride it. Check out the weights on the front to keep it from falling backwards.
Choppercabras (55)
Holy shit! This bike will fuck you up! How do you stop?
Click the pic to see the full photo set. Lots of great pix.

Old Skool Fixie Trix
1899!!! This is before they had invented freewheels or brake mechanisms, so the post-pennyfarthing bicycle was basically today's brakeless fixie. What goes around comes around.

The night I wrecked my room-mate's bike (and my face)
So one time I barrowed my room-mate's bike without asking. Naturally, I wrecked it. I was trying to catch up with my friends, so I was standing as I pedaled and I was going fast. Then the handlebar grip slipped off. The bars went sideways and hit me near the groin. The impact bent the handlebars to a crease. The front wheel went sideways and threw me forwards. My hands got stuck behind the bars and the first part of my body to hit ground was my face. Fucked up my glasses and beat me up pretty bad.
I felt so bad about wrecking the bike that I stayed up super-late replacing the wrecked part with ones from my Ralleigh. He ended up getting the wheel fixed and kept my handlebars because he liked them more.
