Every year, Pacific Southwest Container hosts a Customer Appreciation day and golf tournament. Ryan Perkins’ department is responsible for creating the unique golf holes. Think Putt Putt golf but everything is made of paper. This year’s theme was Going Green on the Green. Ryan used a full scale PDF output from BikeCAD Pro to create this amazing cardboard bicycle.

I’m sure many a junior golfer would have contemplated theft had it not been for the sturdy cardboard chain. Good thinking Ryan… and nice work!

I met Aaron Pidde of Blonde Fabrication at NAHBS in San Jose last year. Aaron would have been exhibiting this year had he not broken his hip a few months ago. He still came out to check out the show though. He showed me this crazy bike that he designed on BikeCAD Pro. I got a kick out of it, so I thought I’d post these photos. The bike is called the Amazon Blonde 36er and it has a pair of TA 4 ply 36 X 2 ¼ tires mounted to 36″ Airfoil double wall aluminum rims. At first, I assumed that this was purely a novelty bike and that no one would actually race on such a beast, but Aaron has actually raced it a fair bit. Apparently, it works really well. Too cool!

I think the photo below is hilarious. That 36er sure looks huge next to a normal 26″ mountain bike.
