Prone Bike Rideable

We got a crank tool today, which let us reverse the rear gears, and get our prone bike rideable. It takes some getting used to – and isn't quite as comfortable as a normal bike – but it's a lot of fun.

News

We've been busy in the last week, and have got a couple bikes closer to finishing.  First is a prone bike.  We need to get the chain attached still, and need to reverse the back crankshaft for that to happen, but it's otherwise finished.  Secondly, we took a trip to a junk yard and found both gears and springs, which will let us finish a backwards steering and a spring bike.

... and Painted

We painted the first bike over the weekend.  It's now a very bright red.  It's sticking pretty well, though we might consider adding another over-coat to keep it from chipping.

First Bike: Functional

We got the structure of our first bike finished today.  All that's left is painting.

It rides well, and looks really cool.  This morning we rode around and got pretty good at getting onto it.
