Day 211: Ride A Double Bicycle




     Yeah, you read correctly. Today I rode a double bicycle, its all the fun and danger of one bike, times 2. Its essentially one normal bike frame with another welded directly on top of it. You need to stand on something tall (like the bumper of an SUV) and since this particular bike does not have brakes yet, stopping and getting off the contraption was way up there on the danger levels. We found that rubbing your shoe against the back tire was the closest thing we were getting to a brake. But the bike was so tall that you would have to extend you foot like you were trying to stand on your tippy toes just to touch the back tire, scary stuff. Once you get on and start riding around, you realize how ridiculously rad the thing is. The view from up there was awesome, and the look on people's faces as you rode by were even better. Kalin even busted out the top hat to complete the costume. I need to get me one of these puppies.
