Dear Susan

As violently unsettling as they all are to look at I reckon most of us are curious for a spin on them though...

I had a go on the tall fatbike and it's surprisingly nimble, also really comfy because you're basically cycling on airbags.

Yeah I reckon they're all very guilty fun to ride.

These things look totally stupid, yet totally fun. Would totally give them a ride, if presented the opportunity, wouldn't spend money on it though.

They do make me grin, though.

Anyone helped fund the #pubesmobile yet?

It actually looks pretty comfy. Like those really early off-road bikes where the seated position looked very similar to standing upright. Totally forgotten what they're called... I have a specific black and white photo in mind, of a man on one in some sort of forest though

I was actually on Arran the day of Grinduro, should have hung around to get a look at some of the bikes.

I reckon that'd be Geoff Apps of Cleland Cycles :-)

Cleland Cycles

That's the one. This sort of geometry is what I was referring to:

But obviously this guy is a bit more upright

^ that's one of the 80s Cleland bikes - the extra bracing stay in the main 'triangle' is characteristic. I've always wanted to have a go on one of these, but they're pretty rare AIUI.

'Investigating building an electric sand trike' (quoted from his Instagram)
It's stuff like this that make's me follow his account and I'm genuinely excited to see what he's building next.

thought someone would have posted this by now. Horn/whoopee cushion actuated by Paul cantis is pretty funny.

Thought there might be a thread for his bikes on here, I quite respect what he does, it's totally out there and for that reason alone, I respect it.

One of his bikes popped up on ebay and thought I'd have a look at his other items. Selling 'creative discourse' I know a bit goes to charity but I couldn't work out if its a joke or not. Guess that's what happens after art school, people are willing to pay for your messages.

Keep making mad bikes dude.

Good to see one today. :)

Most of that stuff is bike charity donation ready, interesting set up.

If this sort of thing is your sort of thing:

A lot of used parts on a custom frame doesn't scream £2k starting price to me.

That is one of the most beautiful bikes I've seen!

Sick, bit too many for me though. Isn't it general etiquette around here to start a list?
