Lots of offset in that back rim axle. I like the people looking out the window.

Oh Yeh! I SEE! Is that how it would have worked? By pushing on the board like a CAM?

In front of old mans feet... They musta poured some out for thier homies....

Um, yeah, that's not beer. Anymore, anyway.

Awesome share indeed. I’ve been awaiting for this update.

That last one looks like it could be a Jethro Tull album cover! The old dude is a little creepy, maybe more than a little. I love it, hello new desktop wallpaper!

Cheers,

They have one at a transportation museum up here (Owls Head Transprtation Museum). You actually "bounce" up and down on the bike like a cam to move forward. They let spectators try it out. Very difficult to get into the rhythm.

Yeah, I think I see "snot running down his nose" and "greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes".

Yo, Aqualung!! Get away from the girl.

The guy on the right could pass for Brettly Otterman from American Restoration on the History Channel. Creepy!!!

Check out the rear suspension on the backward farthing.

[Big Fat Whitewalls]

Not sure if it's suspension. The pedals go up and down, like climbing stairs.

Yeah, you're right.

leather straps drive the axle when tension is applied with the pedals... spring returns the leather and pedal to the up position. wish I could find a video of one of these in action. saw one at a show once but not in action!
