Low-Cost Solution to Keep On Bikin' One of the cyclists at Dutch Bike Co was caught without studded tires when it started snowing in Seattle, but no matter, that's nothing that a box of zip ties can't fix! This MacGyver trick isn't new, but now that winter is here, it's worth bringing up once more. Fritz Rice, the DIYer on these photos, says that while the ties look "completely ludicrous", they work "beautifully": I can accelerate, brake, and corner with aplomb, even on the vile snowpack/sheet ice mix the plows leave in the bike lanes. As you can see on this last photo, the tie heads as position so that they give extra grip when you are cornering, but they stay out of the way when going in a straight line. Cool, eh? How to build a bamboo bicycle - Go Green - SustainLane. Posted to Instructables by ayasbek Step 1:Pick the bicycle frame you want to build If you are a real bike nerd you will love this step.
You are now a frame designer and get to think about things like bottom bracket drop, chain stay length and head tube angle. I suggest using an existing frame as a template (if you have one you really like). If you feel ready to test your skills of an artist go to www.bikeforest.com and use the BIKECAD program. Another good source of information is the Paterek Manual, which is actually for steel frames. Once you have your geometry picked out draw your frame on a large piece of paper. Step 2:Get your parts and bamboo. Wrapping a bike in Scotchlite 680 reflective vinyl. Mike Mandiberg has used the awesome reflective properties of 3M Scotchlite 680 vinyl to wrap his bicycle and the effects are spectacular.
Scotchlite 680 looks black in daylight but when flash or bright lights are pointed at it, the black vinyl becomes bright white allowing for high visibility. Mike calls his creation the Bright Bike and he’s currently working with Beacon Graphics in New Jersey to offer a DIY kit that will be cheaper for consumers.
[via] At the moment, the cheapest roll of Scotchlite 680 costs about $116 but if all goes well, Mike is hoping that he can convince Beacon Graphics to put out a cheaper and smaller roll suitable for covering a bicycle. Check out the video below of how Scotchlite 680 works on the finished bike. Sweet POV: Downhill bike race in Brazilian slum. Most awesome mountain biking ever. Chaîne de GoProCamera. How to Turn Bike Parts Into an Awesome Table. First and foremost, "How to Make Crappy Stuff Awesome" is an exercise in diagnosis.
After lugging a bent bicycle wheel through two rush hours on three different subways to the Williamsburg home of 3rd Ward, I still only had a faint notion of what I wanted to do with it: Namely, build a coffee table that spun like a Lazy Susan. Tim Dowse, the mastermind behind the class, told me to start by looking at what I couldn't change (the spokes) and what I could work with (the post).
"You don't have to keep an object intact," he said. "You want to keep the idea of the object. " To maximize the table's bicycle essence, I decided to use clear plexiglass for the surface, resting it on the center bolt and supporting it with plastic spacers around the rim. But any damage to my reputation was ultimately worth it. Materials (1) Your three forks all need to be an identical length, so figure out how high you want your table to be and then subtract about 4 inches (the height of the table top).
Pleasant commute. PVC Bike Repair Stand. I chose 1 1/2 inch PVC pipe for the main frame because it was sturdy & had the broadest selection of fittings.
There are a couple pieces of 2" pipe that I use for the bike frame rests, and some optional foam weather stripping to use for padding. There is also some shaping of some of the pipe & fittings, so some carving & shaping tools are required. Inspired Bicycles - Danny MacAskill April 2009. MTB]freeride downhill. Ugly Divorce.
