It looks like the fork is turned around backwards and mounted to the buggy. And the "handlebars" of the buggy are the handlebars. With the brake levers mounted on them.

My commuter, 1994 Schwinn Moab. It carries me 35 miles round trip, 3 days a week typically. Pretty much all still original except the saddle, now a Bontrager Race Lux, LX derailleur (the original Alivio was destroyed when a stick got jammed in it when this was my mtn bike), and the bars/bar ends. Weighs in at 40lbs loaded for commuting.

Here's the commuter I finished last night. I'm running 44x18 fixed (44x17 free on the other side) which is a little low for the street but great for hopping curbs and tearing off down trails and through brush. It's an IRO Rob Roy with a bunch of decent parts (Phil Wood hubs, Surly rack, Brooks saddle, Thomson stem, Sugino cranks, etc.) on it. I rode it this morning and had a blast.

My fixed gear commuter. Running 2 Superflashes and a TL-LD1000 out back, a NR Classic Plus up front, and you can't really see the grocery bag pannier on the non drive side. If I carry any more I'll need a trailer....How hard would it be to make a fixed gear Xtracycle

Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

Here's my 2006 Bianchi Volpe I just got a couple days ago. Got it to replace my '93 Trek 520. Not that the 520 was a bad bike, but just wanted something a little faster and lighter.

Here is my Bianchi Boardwalk. Dressed with a black rear rack, black bottle cage, and a Specialized cyclo-computer. More things to come probably next weekend including a trunk bag and some panniers.
Opinions on the bike will be appreciated.
