The Rat Patrol is hard at work dreaming up new configurations for the trash we've stockpiled. Here are a few miscellaneous creations: |
|
A tandem swing bike. |
A TEETER-TOTTER BIKE from Belgium. |
Scally Mike has built many innovative bikes. Here's his latest: a PENNYFARTHING with a front wheel made from a clothing rack. |
The Human Television Network constructed PINKIE to ferry large screen TVs. Here the trike carries an extra rider. |
 
PICKUP STYX is a bike inspired by pennyfarthings of the past, but using a 27" wheel as the larger front wheel. It is notoriously difficult to ride. |
The HAND CYCLE allows the rider to increase speed and power by pumping on the handlebar cranks. If your legs ever get tired on a long ride you'll apprecieate this innovative design. |
The CHOPPAPILLAR could be classified as a chopper, but I think its so funny it deserves to be on this page too. |
The SIDEWINDER takes its cue from the Choppapillar, with similar 'Pillar action and extra curb feelers. |
| THE CAPTAIN is the first of a new breed of chopper invented by Nathan. The idea behind these bikes is to design a chopper that will be comfortable to ride even for long distances. The Cap'n definitely succeeds in this endeavor. The extended handlebars, adapted from handlebars of a stationary exercise bike, allow you to ride upright and in style. It also features 15 speeds, a shock-absorbing front fork and a comfortable seat.

 Alex's RATCUMBENT started out as a small tandem. The frame is similar to the Purple Slug, but with tiller steering and an old office chair for a back rest. |
PRINCE was once a girl's bike, but has been flipped upside down and transformed into a cruising machine. Alex's original design did not use any welding, just bolts through the tubes and hose clamps for extra stability. |
The PURPLE SLUG was inspired by a bike Josh built that featured a bar stool as a seat. Its got chain drive steering, a riding lawnmower seat, and cowpoke saddlebags over an old Harley fender in back. |
