Every revolutionary idea seems to evoke three stages of reaction...

One, it's completely impossible. 

Two, it's possible, but it's not worth doing. 

Three, I said it was a good idea all along.

David....you might be on to
something.


Calling all
local bike builders! 

Create a
new cat!

SS
Tricycles.


Fixed
gear!  SS!  No need for
brakes!  Or will it be
rearwheel drive with
freewheel?  The advantage
is? 

Your new lightweight, larger
wheeled versions might be the
next BIG thing in Cyclocross and
or?

Will the first be ones be 26,
650 or 700 wheeled rigs?  The 15
lb SS Trike!

Carbon, Ti,
Scandium............steel?

I need
to go ferment....ride.

For all of you that are tired of the sandbaggin whiners, we can start are own race.  This all started with something like Ron racing a tricycle, Flo wanted to race an old mans walker, and I wanting to race a big wheel.

Check out this video and I dare you not to laugh.  We need to see if we can do this race up on Mt. Tabor, or Washington Park.
