interesting bike sightings

[Trek420]

Very nice beach cruiser sighted. Sorry it's sideways

If this is your Bob Jackson bike with Brooks saddle and saddle bag .... I'm sorry about the drool.

He's probably used to the drool. That bike looks loved.

Just to throw a monkey wrench into the T vs pear saddle debate, I saw a road bike with a banana seat the other day (the kind that goes on a stingray). I love the guy who listens to his own drum beat. I also counted 16 bikes at the grocery store rack in my town. I thought that was interesting for my town.

This is a recumbent trike with a cargo extender, a child's seat, and a windscreen for the child (who's name is Axl, other people in the photos are my friend, John, my SO, Ian, and Adrienne, Axl's mom; bottom photo has Adrienne, Jim, and Axl's Dad, Robbert, who co-own's Terracycle and built up the trike).

Don't those things need a double seatpost? I don't even remember. How did he have it attached???

[redrhodie]

I have no idea. I didn't get a very close look. The guy riding it looked like an artist type, no doubt some creativity was involved.

I had to look for a picture. http://www.cambridgebicycle.com/design/vintage.htm The front seatpost is pretty much normal (might have a different clamp, but that wouldn't be too difficult to find/shim as needed); the rear seatpost/sissy bar comes up from the rear triangle where rack bosses would be.

Yes, it was exactly like that yellow one on the green bike. I wish I had gotten a picture. I think it just attached at the front, and was not attached at all at the back. It looked very unstable and silly (which was probably the point). I suspect this wasn't for comfort on centuries...but maybe this is the answer so many of us have been looking for!

Now, if it only had a cutout.
