Simple Transport VW and bicycle show today

Some pics from the annual Simple Transport aircooled VW and bicycle show today in Hagerstown, MD

There's always a pretty good BMX turnout, since the show is held at and benefits Hagerstown BMX.

There were two amazing customs in particular. One was this Rollfast + sidecar that was fabricated from the remnants of the shell of the owner's old Cessna. The fab work on this thing is nothing short of amazing. The guy who built it helped me with a little welding/repair project on my build-off bike several weeks ago, so I got to see it when it was near completion.

Then there was this full-on custom build. I thought it started as an Elgin, but according to the owner, whoever built it started with a standard frame (I think he said Murray) and removed the seat post. It gets crazier from there.

There's always something wild to see; I look forward to this show every year.

This show is the only place I've ever seen one. It's been here almost every year that I've attended.

The Brasilias were a new one for me. A friend was telling me that it's a big deal to see one at all. Two at one show is huge.

Not mine, but always thought this VW was cool.
