interesting bike sightings

Bike parked in front of a store.

Pam

Saw a person on a unicycle yesterday. Not someone you see a lot in the midwest. It looked like he was concentrating hard, but still impressive.

OK... I saw a guy with one of these yesterday at our club's annual big ride. And with the amount of wind we were riding against, it just seemed like it would act as one big sail, and take you backwards! I'm sure that's not true, but it seems that way to look at it.

I've asked that question a lot. It's possible with a strong wind, to go backwards in an airplane. I've wondered exactly how much wind it would take before my bike rolled backward!

Now I've officially seen everything. I saw a guy riding a bike carrying a fairly large TV (balanced on his handlebars) the other day. It was impressive.

Had to revive this thread today, because I just saw 2 people riding with sets of golf clubs. It looked hard.

Coolest bike... Burke Swindlehurst's Delta 7 Ascend. It's apparently a distraction when he races (before, during, and after).

You can see some better pics of it here. You'll need to scroll through the photos, the first half are of him on the mountain bike which isn't nearly as cool.

Ok, this one might be kind of gross to some, but it's true. So wish we had a camera!!!!

In Rexford, Montana for Thankgiving visiting my Aunt and Uncle. Last weekend of hunting season, so the men folk are out trying to fill my uncle's last two tags. Now, there is a large Amish community up there, so no motorized vehicles - many ride bicycle. All of a sudden, down the road comes what appears to be a man "riding" a deer with two wheels underneath it!!! The Amish hunter had "gutted" his deer, and put it up and over the saddle of the bike, the legs hanging down around it, head with a full rack laying across the handllebars, and he WAS riding the "deer" down the road!!!

Uh, yeah, that's just gross.

I thought I carried a lot of locks till I saw this bike.

I don't think so.
You city folk...:rolleyes: ;)

Seen at the local bike shop. We thought this is a novel idea whether safety conscious or just squirrelly toddlers. It even includes storage over the rear wheel.

This is wild. I was trying to explain this to my husband on the phone. "His frame is hollow."

"All bike frames are hollow."

I could see the eye roll over the phone.

This bike looks so proud of itself.

The basket makes it look like a delivery bike, but it wasn't parked near a restaurant, and it's in very good condition, so maybe it belongs to a commuter.
