Skitching from underneath is the new leg over skid. I want a Louis Vuitton reclino-seat on my sick Aerospoked recumbie.

But the folding bike, sans l'electrique, is a very cool and sturdy little fella. If I had to buy a folding bike, it would be that frame. Singlespeed modded, of course.

Yeah man, trials bikes are sweet. In an ideal world, we could just give everybody who takes track freestyle too seriously a trials bike and tell them to have at it.


I chose the recumbent.

Bikes: bianchi pista workhorse, cannondale r1000, mountain bike fixed conversion

or give some fixed gear freestylers trials bikes and see what they could do. in some cases, that would be pretty awesome, in some, pure jackassery.

i picked the only one that is still a normal bike.. a tricycle is not a bicycle.. and i ride a bicycle.. and if you need electricity to assist you in riding a bike, you are a p***y.. and the dutch bike is purty.. can i pick the dutch bike and convert it to fixed?

I wonder how different the results would have been had the 'bent not been a trike.

Nope, you have to ride it exactly as it is.
