Stupid hurts.


Rich

 

I think he needs to look into buying "Z" rated tires.

And adding a counter-balance on the pedals wouldn't hurt either.

 

Now that's what I call a death wobble!

 

It takes all kinds...

 

But hey, he wore his helmet so he could survive and feel the pain from his knees digging into the pavement!

 

I bet that antique or antique replica bicycle was an expensive one! I wonder what the extent of his injuries was.

 

That would have been messy if he had done that right in front of the big truck in the first part of the clip!

 

I second that DieselDaze !!!

1 big wheel bike - $5,000
1 big hill - FREE
Catching that on video - PRICELESS

 

He was probably aired down for off-road... but got the cart before the horse or something like that

 

Ratlinram, that emoticon above is great. Fits perfectly.

 

I think he found his weakest link. The chain.

 

I think that was his front tire

 

The road gods punished him for riding on the wrong side of the road!

 

It is a 'Penny Farthing' because of the wheel sizes. Pennies were real big and farthings were real small.

You can see why chains were invented. Ever had a speed wobble on a bicycle or a motorcycle? Lots of fun. Buddy lent me his fancy hand built Italian racing bike to go down a mountain with. Turned out it was built for tight turning on narrow pathways.. at low speed. Started to wobble at about 50 mph and scared the hell out of me. Saw an old 350 Kawasaki wobble so bad the riders knees burst the gas tank, it ignited and flamed out before he stopped. He was not seriously hurt. Weird though. It was at night on a local drag strip. Very spectacular.
