Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.Andy Dyson

Check out these clips. Back is an old 80s MTB, front is .035 and .049 4130. Platform is plywood. Front wheel is 16". Front fork is cut down 26" fork. I shot this video over the last couple of weeks. Design is from Beehive collective of Maine. I didn't make this bike because I already use a trailer, but it does make for an appealing spectacle, and can hold a beer keg or a person and their bike pretty comfortably.
The cool thing about this design as compared to similar ones is the partial re-use of junked bike tubing and the truss construction of the bottom tube. Cheaper than comparable length of 2" tubing, stronger, too.

Philly will soon be populated by about a dozen of these things. Bikes are being produced in Philly's secret apocalypse survival transportation lab. There's one on a cross country ride, too.
