Bullhorns?
"Pedestrian impalers," I think you'll find is their technical name.

haha!
my mum lives in tanzania. the people over there haven't much money to spend, so if they need something they just build it.
apparently you see a few home-made wooden bikes around. even home-made wooden wheels!
fantastic!

Must admit that, at first sight, I thought the frame was made out of cardboard and brown packing tape.
Now that's what I'd call light weight.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
