Ziv Botzer and three friends (all industrial design students) built this seven wheeled bike from four classroom chairs. It took their spare time over the course of a month and 12 old bicycles they found in kibutzs to complete the project. For more on this bike, click here. |

This is the Car-Cycle X-4. The frame and integral suspension was built from Fiberglass, Aramid, and epoxy. The fairing uses those, plus aluminum tubing and epoxy-micro putty and a lot of Coroplast. The bike components and child seat were scrounged. A first effort, intended to test the one-piece frame and suspension and the overall package, it won the IHPVA Practical Vehicle event ten years after the debut of the bare chassis at Expo '86. A full description of it is at www.microship.com/bobstuart/article1.html. |

This is George Aitken riding his swing bike in the Canada Day parade in Cambridge, Ontario. George didn't build his bike. Swing bikes used to be a commercially available product. It's here in the homebuilders' gallery for inspiration to all of you would-be swing bikers out there. Looks like a lot of fun! |
