bicycle design is hosting a design competition. a good one. one to design a better human powered commuting machine. so, be it a commuter bike, freakcumbant, or trike…it’s probably gonna have wheels and pedals, and is definitely gonna have a person on or in it. or under it. or next to it. my point is [...]

amazing!

i cant stop laughing at this shit. in a good way.

i thought this project would be impossible.  i mean.  how can a 36er have a short wheel base?  it’s gotta have at least a 18 inch chain stays.  that’s at least 4 more than a self respecting tri-bag (gotta be self cause who else respects them) would rock.  tri-bags love short wheelbases, even though they [...]
