Found a strange bike with big wheels I parked my Woodrup next to it for comparison. It's a bit impractical for off road cycling as it has next to no tyre clearance.
Spandex's bike!
I've ridden that!
It's a 36"er.
What's it like to ride?
I bet it goes up kerbs a treat!
I'm sorry, I read that as 'kebabs'....
NT will be along shortly to tell you about it. I see Spandex out and about on it a bit, and the funny thing is I tend to notice it's him first, and then clock the bike - but then I'm used to oddities!
Not a hoax she was pulled out safely. http://www.yorkpress.co.uk/news/9779195.Woman_rescued_from_River_Ouse/
I bought a nice body warmer thing that was completely uncycle related. Had a nice ride out to the pub yesterday with Velo vision readers. Saw your bike Vernon :-).
Off out now to go and keep Bikepete company on the stand.
It does, potholes are not a problem either. Spandex has riden it up the 12" or more high step into his workshop.What's it like to ride?

Supplementary question - where can I get one?
This is Dylan (Spandex's) website. He had the frame custom built, and the wheels are 36" unicycle wheels...

When I had a go it wasn't complete yet, only one brake and no paint. The front wheel felt like it was right under my chin. The gyroscopic forces were huge once it got going and steering took a bit of advanced planning. Very very stable and hard to fall off from. Great fun, so smooth to ride and it accelerates like a train. It just surges forwards with the wheels smoothing out the power strokes from the cranks.
I couldn't believe how small my bike looked when placed next to Spandexs' bike.
