- Start date
Help Support Rat Rod Bikes Bicycle Forum:
Ride on Belle Isle, That sounds good.!! I hope the weather is good!! See if I can bring the Stacked or Upside down. May be I can get some other people to ride.. Is the Great Lakes chapter Freekbike web site working?? Not much action there. Together we ride as one!!
Hey Snowworks,
(you really might want to think about that screen name, given the the winter we just had) Come on out to the Isle, we always have a good time. The Freakbike Nation web site is down (as near as I know) but the forum is still running, <http://forum.freakbikenation.com/phpBB3/index.php?sid=4b0ae7d7929014912c1362e38ca4470a> but you are right, there is a dearth of activity on there. It seems a lot of folks have migrated (unfortunately) to Facebook. There's a lot of freaky postings at Freakbikers Unite!!<https://www.facebook.com/groups/629140550476950/>

Last shelter as you go around the island before you have to return to Detroit.

Ride around the island off and on all day, play games, BS, whatever
Pot Luck picnic .... bring something to throw on a grill, a dish to pass or something to stuff in our pie holes.
Lots of riding, yelling, waving and smiling!
New bike contest, trophy, fame and fortune cookies … maybe?

I will be there and hope to get the bike carrier mod finished to carry the Big bike.
Modified Bike Carrier
Still need to create a clamping setup to hold the big bike upright.

Glad to know that you all had a great time – cool bikes and thanks for the pics!
My brother-in-law took me to Belle Isle for a bike ride around the island back in the late 70’s – cool place to ride a bicycle!
Peace and take care of yourselves.

Just wanted to thank all you guys for showing up for the ride! It was great to see some new faces and shoot the bull with you guys. You Freaks and Rats mean a lot to Gigs and me and we hope to get the FreakBike Nation back to it's glory days of Freaky Bike Fun. Thanks to all who came out!
