    Default Wooden bikes

    Hi there,
    After Biting Midge posted that photo of wooden motorbike, I thought I'd have a look around on the Net for similar items...Alas, no motor bikes, but quite a few push bikes, those sit-down-and-run machines. Some rudimentary and some beautifully crafted.
    Here's a start: http://www.designboom.com/snapshots/...ke/wooden.html

    Cheers,
    Andy Mac

    Damn and blast!

    I really really really am trying not to get excited about this stuff, but here are a couple of my bookmarked pages:
    http://www.homestead.com/bikerodnkustom/woodeye.html
    http://bikerodnkustom2.homestead.com/woodeye2.html
    http://www.manytracks.com/recumbent.htm#top

    Another one for you Andy

    go to the bottom of the page on this one:
    http://www.bikeroute.com/Recumbents/...s/2004_07.html

    And maybe the best of all:
    http://www.webfun.org/woodbikes/index.html

    There are one or two missing here, I'll check my bookmarks when I get home!

    Cheers,

    There's a boat inside me trying to get out.
    Was it something I ate?
