Messing around in the basement today with one of the Specialized Fat Boys. The red one with the gooseneck holding on to the wrong part of the handle bars. This is what I came up with for ideas.

The pedals do not bottom out.

But, then I thought it would need a bigger tire in front. A gravity bicycle!

Then I thought about a springer on it. For a board bike look.

I was thinking about adding 2 metal bars between the front and middle axles enough to lift the middle tire off the ground. Then it could be rideable. and the and 2 rear hubs with a chain running between . Or a child's front trike wheel with a sprocket on the middle wheel. Then have a chain run to the front tire for a front wheel drive system. It would give me the legroom that I need to pedal.
