70's Centurion/Diamondback hoopty road bike to Townie conversion.

The Germo

Gear Inches are the true equation. Even so, 32x16 for non-trail riding isn't that bad on those uber-fatties. I cruise around on 92+ gear inches on my town bike/taproom runner and just avoid any prolonged hills I can't get a run at. Then again, I'm a weirdo who practically lives on a bicycle...

32x16 aka 2:1 ratio on 26" wheels is a standard gearing for singlespeed MTBs 32x18 < 32x16

Thank the Midnight Ridazz for spawning the current rebirth of cycling in Lost Angeles. If you see Roadblock, tell him thanks for me.

1973 Schwinn Camelback Speedster

Just drop bank on one of these: http://www.hiwheel.com/antique_replicas/boneshaker_standard.htm

Out of the junk pile and back on the street.

Nice high-wheeler! Some day I will own a proper tallbike.

Farmers like friendly people on strange vehicles.

I'm not too familiar with NE NC rural roads, but SE NC wasn't too bad. The rural roads on the Northern CO Front Range are pretty tame. That encounter I had last week in the city limits was the first of its kind on the tallbike. People are usually too busy processing what the heck it is to act...

I thought that was part Exercycle, nice representation. As soon as I get moved, I'll be snapping up a couple of vintage Schwinn electro-forged basket cases someone is holding onto for me. One can never have too many bicycles, right?

A t-shirt design I created.

Functional, from a Surly 1x1 fork and pieces of a Schwinn electro-forged (supports for the glass).

The character who did the fab work on mine had his first tallbike quite a few years ago. It's been modded to a triple-decker now and I'll see if he wants to drop some pics of it to me. I managed to loop it, but was able to step right off the back.

Dodging shiny bikes (walgoose bicycle shaped objects) on the Boise River Greenbelt bike path, even I would so crash. I hope you are repping on a ratrod up there, just to even the tide.

VA beach, that bike would look good outside Jewish Mother's while enjoying a Reuben and a beer. Myrtle Beach is nuts. I never rode a bike there, but can imagine how a tallbike would be a a real crowd pleaser. All of those hayseeds at the beach must have been blown away. My record mileage so...

Some day I'll own a Pennyfarthing, but this will have to do for now.

Yeah, that was the closest I have come to being assaulted by a motorist in a few years. The Trooper said he probably wouldn't have witnessed the whole thing if I had not been riding a regular bike. Tallbike love success. Your tallbikes in Roanoke Rapids must be huge celeb status. I'd wager...
