I totally got obsessed by making a swing bike when i saw som eof them on this forum, but i'm working on another project, so i placed the idea for a swingbike in the freezer for a while. Untill... i had to wait 5 days to let the tankcoating cure. So i started this thing sunday evening and worked on it in my lunchbreaks this week. And here's the result:

Those bars were off a kiddies bike, and made it kind of difficult to control. So i went with a pushbar off a bike trailer.

Pedals are kind of low though, so i need to adress that. Maybe i'll take the easy way out and stretch the fork of change the cranks for a shorter pair.
I had to learn how to ride it ysterday. Was pretty hard, but after a couple of tries i could wobble it around the parking lot. Great fun!
