Newbie at wooden bicycle building
I have been riding bicycles for years, and now I need more information and learn how to bulid a wooden bicycle. I just have a little experence with woodworking and no experence working with steel and welding. Where online can I find Wooden Bicycle Building Plans for the beginner (hopefully no welding is required to build a wooden bicycle)? In these plans and would these wooden bicycles hold my weight at lease 260lbs or more?

Try google or dogpile searches, I ran across quite a few wooden bike sites whilst looking for diy recumbents, unfortunately I didn't save the links
