Hang Your Bike!

Here's a blade to knife through rush hour and look swift at any speed! The Swiss Army Knife answer to the bike! Corkscrew for your Merlot? Spoke 37. Periscope for seeing over traffic? In the handlebar post; pedal backwards three revolutions to unfurl. You can select 39 tunes to play on the spokes and broadcast through the seat speaker as you speed through streets.

If red's not your color, here's another primary with all the smooth streamlining to shred the air. It weighs all of 2 oz. (If you leave those tiny wires on it.)

'Cyclepedia' (Portland OR, Museum of Art) featured these and a gaggle of other stunning bikes this summer all hanging by a string. Doing the same with your bike might save you some room, but don't count on it becoming an art piece. Not even that racer I stripped down and painted gold before I left U-O for grad school would make this collection of high class head turners.

Where I grew up, in the last ice age apparently, there were nine months of winter and three months of bad sledding. To extend the season I tempted fate keeping my bike operational beyond the freeze and I still have scars on my left wrist from sliding through the big intersection on main street. I think this bike might have made all the difference! Imagine the envy as you cut across the mill pond-cum-ice rink on this handsome skate! So cool!

Bicycle built for two, side-by-side? Getting those pedals worked out for two of four legs is going to take coordination! Probably should start in an empty parking lot.

Here's the Darth Vader of the group. In a wind tunnel, the bike has nearly no resistance. It's streamlined almost as well as a hyphen! The fork in front is not, so when leaning into those tight right turns you can lay this baby on the pavement! May the force be with you to get it back up!

Figure out the seat on this last one and send me a line will ya? I'm still puzzled, maybe it's just art.
