Gravity Bike

[thebigorangecat]

A few of the neighborhood kids got the idea to build and race a gravity bike. Figured I would share what we were working on!

Let's start with a few donation bikes...

... and cut them up ...

... and keep a few good parts.

What's with the little 4th pony wheel back there?

The center fork had a lower axle height and a 20” wheel made it teater, so maybe it’s a wheelie bar? Looking for a better fit.

He floats thro' the air with the greatest of ease The daring young man on the flying trapeze His movements are graceful, all girls he does please And my love he has stolen away!

It’s two seat gut clamps and a cut end off another set of bars. Stole the idea from The Renaissance Man.
