Extra - Ordinary



Last week I was in Boston attending the Siggraph convention. Across the street from the Boston Symphony I saw what looked like a bike. But because of its size and that I couldn't figure out how you would pedal it, I assumed it was an art project from the school of Fine Arts. I was wrong as this Craigslist Forum shows. I didn't take the picture. They also have links to videos of it being ridden.

Not yet. It's been insanely busy at work. I keep getting distracted. I found a nice frame on eBay, but the price went too high.

Sounds great. Definitely keep me up on it. I'm looking, but when you work 7 days a week as I do, sometimes things get sidetracked. I sent some of the shots I took of you guys on Talimena to my pen pal in Osaka. She was amazed.

As a former Arkansawer and a mtn biker/roadie Talamena area is a great place to ride. Live in the north east now and have seen alot of crazy bikes but none like that cats. Dude's bike in the back ground looks cool too.
Enjoy the greenery and scenery down there!

Well, keep your eyes open. I saw it in Boston at the Symphony station on the green line parked next to the art supply store. It was parked and locked for a day or so, so I suspect that he may be local to the area. Someone said he goes to the Museum school.

Big happenings here in Little Rock too. They're opening the Dam Bridge. Now we can pedal to North Little Rock over the Arkansas River. It will be the longest bicycle/pedestrian bridge in the world. It opens at the end of September. Big party!
