I love Oceanside! I wish I had a bike when I was down there!
They were just talking about those bikes today on CNN.

Do you think the standover height is a bit much for his size?

This actually looks fun. I could imagine riding this through my small town of Brazil. Somebody would probably shoot me and hang me and the on the wall as a trophy.

I would liked to have seen how he got back on that thing. I bet that takes some practice just to mount it, let alone trackstand.

Is there any point to these things other than just wanting to be different? Personally, helping build a house for Habitat seems like a better investment of building skills, time and energy?
