That's 10 weekend projects right there! Caters for singlespeed, fixed and recumbent fans!

That office chair bike looks perfectly doable as a front-wheel drive 'bent.

Interesting but I don't think I'd be tempted to try and make or own any of them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What does it say about me that I know several people who've already built most of those...

I really fancy a water bike...

Brilliant but which way do you pedal the double bike ? backwards to go forwards seems logical to me...

 

[Hilldodger]

Got one, made it myself

Could be for sale to a sensible offer.

Might have considered it, but you forgot the obvious...all that water and you never fitted mudguards

Yes, if it's anything like the one Wobbly John brought to Leicester Tallfest.

Although it would only take putting a figure of 8 in the chain to make it work pedalling forwards...

Errrrmmm. You forgot your pump. Just wondering....

....what happens when you get a puncture?

 

[Yellow Fang]

Love it. That high school student definitely gets an A* for wood-work. What's the betting that bike with shopping trolley doesn't have a wobbly wheel?

... bike with shopping trolley doesn't have a wobbly wheel?

That's the one that caught my eye - how the hell do you steer the trolley bike? ... and can you ride it inside the shop?

Cheers,
