Bike Before heading out.


Bike Before heading out., originally uploaded by hearsedrv.

I built a pedal bike for Burning Man. I knew from the year before that a bike is a must have item. Since Katy was going with me I decided to build a 2 person car type bike. I found plans to this one online. Its made of pvc pipe.

I didnt think it would last to long. It creaked and just didnt fell real stable. I had the kids test drive it in the neighborhood and it broke just about every time they went out in it. I would improve whatever broke but was still nervous.

suprisingly, it not only held together but others in our camp borrowed it and had no issues. I mean if stoned, drunk people can take it out and have a blast on it then its pretty bad A! (me and katy drove it carefully, were I know the ones that borrowed it were not all together sobber nor careful.)

For next year I am making a bunch of bikes, out of metal. stay tuned for more! One is already done, a tall bike scroll down to see it.

later in the week
