    Mines pretty cool, it's called a "stuck in the highest gear" bike
    EDIT: I have gotten a new bike in between when I originally made this comment, and I can happily say that it is light-years ahead of my previous when it comes to build quality

      Honestly (I know you're probably joking) but I think it would be nearly impossible to ride except for the most skilled unicyclists, because it would take away any core stability you have. I'd love to see someone try though!

      My idea:
      Make your friend consume a white substance, something harmless and after them consuming it tell them that it was a drug.
      And after that you two ride in beach cruisers but your bike is a swing bike.
      Swing as far and as smooth as you can to make your friend feel like they're tripping balls

    Back in highschool, I had a teacher teach an elective course on bike maintenance and during that course we would get to ride various bikes like the swing bike, couple of penny-farthings and one or two tall bikes. Loved that class so much I ended up making my own tall bike and got quiet a lot of looks. Definitely conversation pieces but not fun to fall off of.

    Wow, blast from the past for me. I first saw the original Swingbike in about 1977 at the Boys and Girls Exhibition, Alexandria Palace London, England. Forever stuck in my childhood memory.

    I have an SE Beast Mode which is a 29"+ BMX cruiser. It big, it's heavy, it stands out. I live in Florida and it's perfect for city rides. I don't ride it often, but people stop their cars to ask questions. I did upgrade the brakes from Tektro mechanical disc brakes to Magura MT4. Now it actually stops.

    That swing king looks like a lot of fun! The coolest lowrider bike I have ever seen was built from a vintage swing bike, with the front tube all stretched out like melted mozzarella cheese. It was Fantastic 4 themed, but this was waaayyy before the modern glut in super hero movies and shows, it was in 1995 I think.

  • @BramLastname
    @BramLastname 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    You inspired my housemate to make a swing bike,
    for context,
    We have a collection of homemade bicycles
    Most notably
    :
    The tandem with under-glow (cycling through multiple colours),
    The down pointing bike (small thick wheel in front and normal wheel in the back),
    The low bicycle with car handbrake (which was stolen recently T-T).
    We are also planing to make a Tandem trailer trailer,
    Because one trailer wasn't unsafe enough. ;-b
    And plans to make a tall bike (with LEDs of course)
    And a circus bike (Big wheel in front tiny wheel in the back)
    Are on our backup list since we don't have enough people to do everything.
    We do however have a pretty steady supply of parts,
    Because we steal bicycles hours before they are scheduled to go to the dump,
    This is actually a loophole that, according to the landlord, isn't illegal,
    Because we're technically stealing trash that is disowned.
    Our landlord's company even gave us permission to do this,
    Providing us with a proper storage space so people won't complain.
    (to be fair the graveyard we had at first was a real eye soar.)

    I have 3 pretty decent little bikes, 2 Giants and 1 Motobecane as a Road, Touring Trail, and full suspension mountain bike. Love all 3 of them as 'Real' Bikes you can commute on in their own ways... Then I picked up a used Mongoose Beast single speed fat tire bike that weights 56 POUNDS as a joke, figured I would ride it once with my friends for laughs. Weird thing is we got lost that day and I road it 46 miles! That bike won me the nickname the BEAST for riding it that far, and now it's in my fleet permanent as a just fun bike to throw around from time to time. Of note it's actually a hoot to ride over curbs and really anything else that gets in my way ;-)

  • @MattGronke

    I have a 1990 Trek that I've converted into a singlespeed and put on an 80mm front suspension fork even though it was never designed for it. It gets all the weird looks at the mountain bike rides. It's good to know there's someone else out there like me!

    I don't know anyone that rides a bike aside from those who can't afford cars. I don't know anyone who like bikes or skateboards for a hobby where I live. I just go around town, up and down stairs with a fat bike. I love it. I can haul ass with it too down the crappy sidewalks that are buckling and making little jumps on my way to the store for my lunch break. It's faster to get around than my skateboard and I use it in the afternoons mostly to bring me to my skatespots. It's odd to my friends who live out of state and ride bikes. one is a BMX guy and the other rides trails and camps out in AZ.

    I built a bike very similar to the half bike for the New Belgium Brewery bike parade that is called "The Tour de Fat". Very fun event held Labor Day weekend in Fort Collins, CO. I started with a stationary bike and made it non-stationary. It used a skateboard truck on the back for steering. I replaced the drive wheel with a BMX wheel so I could coast, The original I had to keep peddling and couldn't stop peddling to recover when I got out of control, which was quit often. I rode it many years for the Tour de Fat. It took me over a week to be able to ride it. It is a huge parade, way over ten thousand riders. I don't know how to include a picture of it, otherwise I would.

    I have a Dutch "grandma bike", I found it in an alley, both tires flat, rust eating away everything... so I rang some doorbells, asked if they knew whose bike it was, but no one had a clue. So I put a note on it, waited 30 days, and left my phone number with the people living there. Took the bike home, fixed it up, and now it is my secondary bike next to my hardtail.
