scroz 04-19-05 03:43 PM

Way to go *jack*, great I

Snowy, the guy on front depends on which way they are going, eh? I wonder how long it takes to switch the lead direction.

Good one LO

how nauseating would it be to be the guy on the back?

Maybe the guy running along is a human kickstand...

And I though my tires were hard to find.

moxfyre 04-19-05 07:49 PM

Are those disc brakes?

hoodlum 04-19-05 07:50 PM

Thats how I felt when I went from a 650c tri bike to a 700c road machine.

Woops. Totally thought that was Sheldon Brown!
Awesome pic, I love those high-flange hubs!

Craziness. It would be cool if they could use the same wheels, but place the riders about 1' from the ground, between the wheels. That would make for a very stable ride, I think.

OH!!!! With that same idea you could make the bike a recumbent, with one rider stacked on top of the other, like bunk-beds.

JoeLonghair 04-20-05 06:38 AM

Is it not the first bike with a reverse gear....

powers2b 04-20-05 08:42 AM

That just confirms that bicycles are the work of the devil!!!

Although he may not be absolutely confined to earth (e.g. Job 1:6), the earth is where Satan now rides and has his throne -

Enjoy

lala 04-20-05 08:52 AM

I thought it was Sheldon, too!

Rixtory 04-20-05 09:10 AM

It looks terrifying just thinking about an abrupt stop. I wonder if the guy in the back loses his breakfast, will it hit the wheel and come back on him 3-4 times??

lotek 04-20-05 06:05 PM

Yah, its a real bike. Didi holds the record for the worlds' largest
working bike (or something like that) I remember seeing a piece
on Didi and the bike on the Tour coverage (don't remember which
year).
