    Odd bike sighting

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    I wish I had been able to get a picture of this bike, but I saw it on my way to work this morning from the gym. At first I thought it was a small chopper motorcycle, but then I realized it was on the sidewalk. THEN I realized it didn't have a motor on it - it was truly a bicycle. High monkey bars, wider tires (especially in the back), a very unusual bike though the rider didn't look especially comfortable on it. The fork was extended forward at the same angle that you would see on a chopper. Then the light turned green and I had to move

    I hope my description was clear enough, has anyone seen anything like this? I assume it was a custom job, but perhaps I am wrong. It is also possible the rider's body was hiding a battery assist, although I was looking pretty carefully for that. Very interesting!

    If you were in WV, I would say that I know the guy who owns that. His is a custom job that he pulls out for charity rides. It looks so uncomfortable.

    Just google chopper bicycles. There's a whole world out there of folks who like numb butts and hands.
