Default Tall Bike Mod! / Critical Mass!

Okay so I moved to a bigger town and I did my first Critical Mass! Critical Mass is now a worldwide event that happens the last Friday of every month to promote bicyclist awareness and promote biking it also give the community something to do and it is free!

There were all kinds of custom bikes there! Here are some photos and videos!

Okay well I am going to try and make a tall bike! There were about 4 of them on the ride! I have a lowrider bike but I didn't make it =( I really wanna have a custom bike and I think a tall bike would be a good start!

The bike I really wanna make is a bike with a rocking chair though!

OK well class is starting so peace!

Here's a thought.

Hook a gas powered motor up to a bicycle and try to ride with them.

hey thanks for coming on the ride, and for showing my video

that tall bike looks like it has a center of gravity almost above the rear wheel, it seems like if you rode it up a hill you would fall backwards! i think it depends on the shape of the frames you use. i would like to build one too if i knew how to weld.

yeah seriously J-Dogg do you ever do critical mass? I've meant to go to a bunch of them but, well, they were in an area that would be hard to bike to for me

I do from time to time. We don't have many here, nothing leisurely local. Every 3 months there is a critical mass ride down south called Choppernite, this month we're doing one and each ride has a different theme, this one is 80's hair bands.

It's about 100 mile drive to get there for total half hour of riding but it is worth it, sometimes I cruise on the chopper, other times I race everything that moves on the Ciocc, even 25-mph speed limit traffic.

I've wanted to organize something local and there is a decent following here of mostly road weenies and retirees on cruisers, and youngin's on BMX bikes. I've tried to organize a classic steel road bike ride, old school stuff liek my Ciocc, Guercottis and handbuilt frames of the like.
