That's an interesting mid-frame rack right above the BB.

This should be in the "Self Defense" thread. Perfect for deterrent for muggers on a MUP.

How does a snake pedal a bike with no legs?

I like the mid bike rack, not sure what it is for. If I found something like that on my bike I would have some major issues.

Only problem I see is storing this thing while biking from one place to another. Does it wrap itself on the seat stay?

But if you get the right type of snake, it would sort of be the death penalty in advance. That should stop em.

Do you know how stoked I would be to find a snake on my bike? And one that matches the handlebars too!

Maybe you could carry it crossed over your torso like old-timey bicycle racers used to do with tires. It could get a little dicey if the snake got scared and started squeezing, though.

Might be a bit of a weight issue as well.

Forget the bike. Do you know the street value of a full grown python these days?

i would figure 8 the front wheel on that bike for leaving a snake in a public place where it could bite me.

And if you get a flat, just have the snake wrap itself around the wheel and bite it's tail. Instant tire.

Imagine you're riding along and someone shouts abuse at you, so you catch them at the lights and hurl your pet taipan in their car window. That would be falcon hilarious, wot?
