Bike Seat Bottle Opener

Eric — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 05:35:18 +0000

I love this bicycle seat bottle opener. I love how simple the design is and how inconspicuous it will look just hanging out under your bike seat. I do wish, however, that there was a way to add a corkscrew to it, too. That way, when you slapped your wine bottle onto your bike, you would be all set to open it. You know you want one.

5 More Ways (Silly Videos Even!) to Open a Wine Bottle (Mostly With Your Shoe)

After the impressive (and impressively drunk Breton’s) video banging shoe bottle of wine (I speak English, I promeese), even more have appeared. And if you must have corks and cork screws, well, thank you.

Devicycle: Bicycle for Land, Sea, or Space?!

Eric — Sun, 18 Jul 2010 04:05:27 +0000

Clocking in at just a tad uglier than the Monster Bike and perhaps far more practical: the guy behind the Whymcycle Express, and whymcycles, is my new hero. For lack of better words, here are his:

Stock fork surpassed by adding rear 2/3′s of a full suspension mountain bike as the springer front end. Double rimmed drum brake 16″ laced to 26″ alloy, get us height, braking and with plastic lawn sign in between the spokes, a dandy rudder!! Also tripled up on Torrington freewheeling axel bearings for the rear drive component. 3 of them with 6 all-thread bolts thru their sprocket teeth, making them act as one, ideally reducing by 2/3′s the strain on each one..also bolted by the 6 all-threads, a 65 tooth Schwinn Exerciser cog..dune/mud/hillclimb to test them this weekend @ the da Vinci Days Kinetic Sculpture Race in Corvallis. OR.
That fork innovation’s going onto my full suspension tallie Real soon….

Rear wheel ‘overwheels’ are 40″ trampolines for mud/sand/water paddle wheels….shall see if they survive the test weekend also….
Go to All sizes ‘original’ to see some of the details that make this function & survive.
Most of my beasts are made to work and last, and be serviceable for maintenance ..bearing work, spoke tuning, and further ‘upgrades’ . Yikes! (It Will get painted, promise.)

Wait, what? Ok, anyone feel like a hamster!? With no handlebars it would appear as if you have to lean, like on a motorcycle, to steer. Sweet.

News Brief: Bicycles Banned In Blackhawk (bullshit)

Eric — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 05:40:16 +0000

Wow. I can’t think of anything more stupid for the state of Colorado or the city therein than to ban bicycles. Here’s the description:

There are signs posted in several spots around town that show a bicycle with a circle around it and a line across it; however if people miss it and didn’t read the section in the local newspaper talking about Blackhawk’s new law, most would have no clue riding in spots is illegal.”Most of the business owners didn’t even know about it,” said Webb.

While the Monsterbike may not be the best for tackling hills or going fast, it would certainly teach an important lesson to anyone who doesn’t check their mirror before opening their car door.

Big Ass 85cm Bike

Eric — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 06:13:29 +0000

Just in case you were wondering, “hey, what does an 85cm bike look like?” Here’s one for ya.

Those are 700c wheels. Every time I post this photo people get upset and tell me that they must be 24″ wheels. Wrong 700C.

It is a great bike. It is 83.5 cm st and ht. I think I will try to get it and put a tiller and a kidback tandem crank on it so I can ride it. Ebay auction 330045460487.

There are some tandems and otherstuff being sold as well on ebay. Check em out here under seller name Kelly bike outlet.
