Here's a few pictures I found over on ThereIFixedIt.com. It's mostly random fare but there are some intriguing bike oriented finds. I had to dig about 14 or 15 pages in to find the following nine.

Enjoy!


I assume this guy to be the victim of a front wheel theft. Gotta secure those front wheels, folks. It doesn't appear as if there's a wobbly wheel on the cart though. That'd be really awkward... yet hilarious!


Why this person neglected to incorporate a leg section in that stack is a mystery. It's otherwise impressive though. I imagine this person to be a traveling brick mason and wonder where he keeps his trowel. Maybe it's in the bag?


Ummmm... Wow! I see the S shape in the tubing and the word sketchy comes to mind. Is it just me?


I bet this guy has to duck alot. What's the standard clearance for bridges and overpasses?



If the creator of this curious monstrosity of bicycle ingenuity were to tell me that this thing could fly to the moon, I would be inclined to give the benefit of the doubt. I mean, at least consider the possibility, right? You can't really tell, but that's a strap hanging from the saddle area. Why else would you need to strap-in unless this vehicle is capable of flight?

As an aside: I wonder what gear ratio would get you to the moon?



Now that's pedal power! It's not easy riding in snow.


You'll notice this guy is missing both wheel and fork. Yeah, he's just showing off!


This one's just wrong in so many ways. But I must admire the resourcefulness of the endeavor.


This kid's subtle grin is indicative of him knowing that he has arguably the coolest tricycle in the world. Built entirely from junkyard scraps by his dad! Just a man with a welder, some junk and a desire to make a tricycle for his son.

Bricks guy is walking beside the bike. Bricks must be very light, rear tire is not collapsed, but still impressive.

Yeah, I know. That's why I was wondering why he didn't just stick his leg through like his arm and pedal. Crotch rub maybe? That would give you a hell of a rub rash.

I don't know, man. Those look like proper bricks.

When I was riding in Italy in 2013 I saw a guy on a big group ride riding a MTB with no front fork or wheel. Wish I had had time to take a photo.

During my Easter weekend tour I had to ride a sways from the campground office to my site.

I don't think that's a trike. It looks more like a sidecar or outrigger setup to me, which would be a different riding dynamic. Hard to tell from the photo.
