The nice folks at dorkbot have asked me to give a presentation on freak bikes at their meeting on the 23rd. I'll post up the location as soon as it is announced.

My plan is to bring out the tiny tall, maybe the upside down bike, the flag pole bike and whatever else I can borrow from other people between now and then.

If you've got a freakishly modifed bike and would like to talk about how you made it, let me know.

More details soon. Hope to see some of you there!

EDIT: Dorkbot will be this Saturday the 23rd, 4 pm, in room 101 of the Reynolds Building on campus. 349 Scott street.

Dorkbot will be this Saturday the 23rd, 4 pm, in room 101 of the Reynolds Building on campus. 349 Scott street.

I'll be talking mainly about tall bikes, a little history, design issues, etc, and demoing the tiny tall.

There will also be a something called Wormtron by Chris and Andrew. Based only on the name I'm going to assume they've invented a tiny futuristic motorcycle to be driven by subterranean invertebrates.
