Cargo!

At the same house in TN. Appearently those are old battery boxes.

Ward's Pedicab

OG Pizza Eater, Ward, got a job riding pedicabs in Tuscaloosa, AL.  Leather seat and cannopy.  This thing is slow and akward to cotrol.

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...

Austin, TX

As expected, Austin had some great bikes in it.


Tallbike with fucking antlers!!!


Excellent cargobike make from shitty bikes. The basket is so cool because the guy is a furniture builder by trade.


Sick DIY stretch bike.


Window washer's trike.


I love these old cargobikes.


Some recumbent. Check out the handlebar setup.


Ice cream trikes are everywhere in Austin.

Austin Bike Zoo!

These bikes were showcased for the grand re-opening of the Austin Yellow Bike Project. They have other crazy animal bikes that weren't out including an 80' rattlesnake! Wowzers!

Crazy-ass Cargo Bike

Cart Bike!!

I just realized I never posted this amazing beast. Me and Brian built this thing back in the deadly summer '09. Held together with U-bolts and hose clamps. No cuts, no drilling, and absolutely no welds. Rear suspension, 21 speeds. The basket is a shopping cart. It need at least 70 lbs. in the basket to function at all.

Lots of candid pix of some of my other beauties from the time.







A broom stick and two stems hold the two front wheels straight.


Fork U-bolted to cart.


More forks U-bolt to the cart.

Cargo Tallbike

Looks like a fixed-gear?

Be sure not to miss the shark bike.

Amazing DIY Cargobike!

This is amazing!  I can't believe how much work must have gone into this!  I've considered trying to build something like this, but this one is the bee's knees!  Also, mad props for the ugly paint.

DIY XtraCycle

I really like how this is done.  Super-simple!

5-Wheel Cart Bike w/ Umbrella

I just finished building my cartbike, which too about a week, and while we were working on it, I was scouring the interenets for ways to improve it and make it easier to ride, and I came accross this feller.

I found the picture on this site, which has 28 pages of different silly bikes with short descriptions.  Pretty cool.

The Dutch Bike

This would be an amazing thing to have, especially in a college town on a game day.  You can look at some other types of cargo bike and potentially buy one on the link.

Fixie-styled Cargo Bike?

 

It's hard to believe but it's true.  Somebody has build a crazy cargo bike with fixie styling.  The front is so hip looking with it's matching tire and bartape, but the back is just a mountain bike with a shopping cart.

Limobike

Wow.  There's a pointless mod.  The page says that they were going for a xtra-cycle type cargobike, but this seems like the most difficult way with the smallest payoff.  The bike is barely extended at all, even though there are a ton of new welds.

Crazy Cargo Bike

Finally, a cart-bike that makes sense.  Mostly it just reminds me how much I need a tandem bike.

Another picture and a few more bikes on the link.

Veer Trailer

I'd really like to see this.  No clue when it's coming out.

I found here.

Official website.

Amsterdam Bicycles

This website is sort of interesting.  Some American d-hole went to Amsterdam and observed, with a camera, the bike culture in a busy intersection for 76 minutes.  It's cool to see the contrast of bike culture, but the writer seems to think that sanfrancisco has it figured out way better.  Also, thier writing is waaay repetitive and annoying.

Thanks Alex.

Cycle Truck update!

Cycle Truck update!
Originally uploaded by cricketpress

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.

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.
