Bike, Scooter, and Chopper Projects for the Evil Genius

Monday, October 20th, 2008

I just received a copy of Brad Graham and Kathy McGowan’s latest book Bike, Scooter, and Chopper Projects for the Evil Genius. Like Brad’s last book Atomic Zombie’s Bicycle Builder’s Bonanza, this one features step by step instructions for creating a variety of unique bikes using only basic tools and inexpensive parts.

Besides trikes, scooters, choppers and tall bikes, the book also explores various electric vehicles. Along the way, the reader will find the encouragement needed to design and build their own completely unique bikes.

With Christmas on the horizon, this book would be a great gift idea for the evil genius in your life.

Congratulations to Sam Whittingham who, just yesterday, set a new World Land Speed Record.  Sam’s speed of 82.3 mph (132.4 km/h) also qualifies for the .deciMach prize for breaking Mach 0.1 or 1/10 the speed of sound.

Here’s the record setting run:

Here’s another video featuring Sam that was taken a few years ago.
