When The Pedal With Your Hands And Steer With Your Feet

2011-07-27T22:05:00.000-07:00

I came across the website of some freakers in Brittany, France who I wanted to profile. These guys seem to have taken a serious study of the freakbike and come up with designs that I had not considered or seen. When chopping it's important to ask yourself what aspects of the bike are taken for granted and can be altered.

This is a tallbike that you pedal with your hands and steer with your feet. Paintacular!

Stilt Bike Gives Second-Story Ride

2011-07-27T21:56:00.000-07:00

This is interesting to me because there's a half-century gap in my collection of vintage tallbike pictures between 1915 and the 1964 article, which Ray has recently filled with these photos from '40 and '52. Surely there were tallbikes about in those times. There were two world wars and a depression to keep people busy.

Your Smile Is My Bike's Smile

2011-07-27T21:12:00.000-07:00

Is it funny? or is it harmful? if you see two frame of bike with a height of more than 2 meters,yes it's tall bike.
on the street tall bike was very attracted the attention of road users,maybe most of them thinking that was funny or dangerous but mostly they always showed smiling happily to tall bike rider.

Odd Bicycle Made From Bed

2010-06-09T22:43:00.000-07:00

Everything old is new again. Modern Mechanix was the staple through an era past. Now The DIY culture has Make magazine, backyard chicken and gardening. The revolution is proving to be empowering to anyone willing to research, learn and think for themselves. Sometimes I wonder if that is possible with the general media and information packaged as being the expert. Then I get reassured when I see businesses models such as iFixit, band promo and discussion sites, and of course Bicycle Kitchens and all the real How-to’s out there.

Travelling Via Tall Bike

2010-06-03T13:28:00.000-07:00

Traveling is fun and more fun in a different way than the other. we choose using tall bike to get high and more of fun in traveling because it's cheaper than we use other advance transportation although it is slower but it's so conform with go-green concept. with a tall bike we can take more of stuff and many more of item because there are lots of places to put the items, it's that compared with ordinary bicycle can not carry more items. so have (more) fun with your travelling and tall bike.

HI-CYCLE

2010-06-01T07:17:00.000-07:00

Jon Brown of Fort Wayne, Ind., found a new way to keep kids off the streets--high off, that is--when he turned his bike upside down. Like an old fashioned two wheeler, the altered bike lifts you into the upper strata. But unlike the 1890 version, it's easy to convert this conversion back to a lowly "earth" bike since no welding is involved.

First, remove the handle bar,seat,wheels,pedal crank and chain; then wash all parts and bearings in solvent and pack with grease.in reasembly, both the rear wheel and pedal crank must be on the side of the frame opposite to their original position.

The fork is removed, the frame invert and then the fork is reinstalled in the handle bar socket. A 5 ft. pipe forced into the fork serves as a "joy stick." It is secured by drilling through both parts and bolting them together. The seat post is also a 5 ft. length of pipe and is forced through the frame behind the pedal crank bearing housting and secured with bolts.--Morris G. Hults

Tall BIke Expression

2010-05-29T14:32:00.000-07:00

100 Miles Via Tall Bike

2010-05-28T19:08:00.000-07:00

This month marked the 20th anniversary of Reach the Beach, a 100-mile bicycle ride that goes from Portland to the coast and raises money to support the American Lung Association of Oregon. The ride is widely recognized as the official start of the Oregon cycling season, and this year some supporters decided to show their enthusiasm in some unconventional ways.

Team JetSteam received more than a little attention for riding the entire route on tall bikes (see photo above). Apparently, a few guys who rode the race on unicycles last year were looking for a different kind of challenge. Props to them for taking their dedication to the ride to new heights.

If you didn’t get involved with the race this year, mark your calendar for the next Reach to Beach on Saturday, May 21, 2011. What will you ride next year?

From Wreck To Rock

2010-05-28T16:28:00.000-07:00

To create a tall bike must be made sketches and design, then looking for wreck of a bike at a flea market junk, most are in Berbah, Sleman. After finding the required items such as a bike frame, chain, gear, steering, etc., then assembled by welding. we can choose height and shape as desired bicycle initial sketches. For fees by wreck of a bike and costs required assembling the bike just under 300 thousand rupiah.When assembling the bike is actually quite short is about a week. But time could be delayed, because the community members should seek and sort out the trashy stuff at Berbah Sleman to be in the bicycle-recycle so desired.

For safety cycling, brakes always installed on either side of handlebar. Low and high bicycles, shocks that frames are used. There is a uses by two frame BMX bikes, mountain bike or two order by modifying certain sections so safe to use when driving around town,there is also just added with the steel.The steer must be symmetrical, if not symmetrical so uncomfortable to ride, and the brake must grip,so we consider cycling safety.

Preserve Culture Cycling With Different Sensations

2010-05-27T18:51:00.000-07:00

Yogyakarta tall bike community makes the bike a unique model. A bike with a height size bicycle with even very high, Height between 1.5 meters to 3 meters. The material was also based on the principle of "go green", which is to reduce junk scrap metal secondhand bike builders have piled on rickety. This community has asked one of the tall bike enthusiasts to assemble depending on tastes and ingredients stuff wreckage.

Our principle is to reduce the use of fuel oil and scrap metal rubbish bin in the city, we are a bunch of different bikes as our lifestyle.

Influential Above Traffic (Now)

2010-05-27T17:51:00.000-07:00

At the end of 2006, users bicycles on the streets of Yogyakarta increasingly marginalized by a motor vehicle. Even users of motor vehicles will not budge or give priority to get a road bike safely.

People who see any glaring incessantly with amazed, how a bicycle with a very high size can be climbed. On the other hand, there are also those who follow these high bicycle enthusiasts to learn how it to get down. There was even a hope, how if dropped.

The Fixed Gear Tall Bike

2010-05-27T17:04:00.000-07:00

This fixed gear tall bike, amazingly, was built “from start to finish in about two days,” by Marty Walsh, custom frame builder extraordinaire from Geekhouse Bikes, based out of Allston, Massachusetts. He constructed it from scrap tubing, but as he notes, the “front is double butted deddacchi, meaning it’s probably one of the nicest build tall bikes I’ve ever seen.” Most tall bikes are pieced together with old parts and sport shitty welds, which sets this one apart from all others. And since the dude is an actual frame builder and it was still DIY—a mandate in the sub-culture—not even the aggressive purists can hate on it. Plus, it’s not like he plans on selling out, “The ‘Frankendork’ isn’t for sale, it’s just kind of a fun show piece that I can ride around the city and be a dork,” confesses Walsh. Check out the bike in action, detailed close-ups, and the building process after the jump.

Sono's Explanation

2010-05-22T16:00:00.000-07:00

In according to Sono, an activist yogyakarta tall bike, at the beginning of tall bike at yogyakarta establishment there are only five people who have a tall bike. The idea of using the tall bike was started in 2007, when Cyclown Circus, whose members are from the United States and Italy, visited Indonesia.

"Cyclown Circus held a workshop, a member, Piero, living in Indonesia," sono's said. After getting the science of Piero, five people continues to campaign with around Yogyakarta city.
Sono revealed before he switching to tall bike, many members of yogyakarta tall bike use of low rider bicycles. "After trying a tall bike, felt comfortable, transmissivity and the number of users continues to grow," sono's said. Currently, there is a high number of tall bike users and 24 people gather every Saturday night at the yogyakarta monument (tugu jogja).
Because there is no tall bike manufacturer, then the owner should design its own. "not expensive and not difficult, because using the framework of the former purchased and wreck," Sono's said. A tall bike usually consists of two frame were prepared and upwards.
Once there are two order, direct the owner of welding bike as you wish, The important thing is still have a comfortable and safe. So also the form of handlebars and other construction, in accordance with the owner desires.
Sono disclose activities of yogyakarta tall bike members are campaigning to reduce pollution. "We have been cycling up to Jakarta," said Sono. Three people are cycling to Jakarta, namely Sono, Yoyo, and Janto. For mass cycling, members of yogyakarta tall bike have visited Salatiga.

Flexibility To Ride

2010-05-22T15:53:00.000-07:00

This communitiy (Yogyakarta Tall Bike) do not need the legality of the organization. It's a bit different from other bicycle organizations that have a neat structure. They confessed to the present tall bike community has not needed an organization's existence. No need is recognized among the other communities. In fact, the real existence of this community have been recognized and are often invited to be involved in various cycling events.

At last, tall bike was invited to participate in the commemoration 'serangan oemum 1 maret' that municipal of Yogyakarta government. Together with the existing bicycle community in Yogyakarta they mingle, like the old bike lovers from the community who are members of Societies onthel Djokjakarta (Podjok) and community SegoSegawe (Sepeda Kanggo Sekolah Lan Nyambut gawe) formed by the local government.

The coolest tall bike I’ve seen yet

2010-05-22T15:25:00.000-07:00

I’ll admit that I don’t usually find the tall-bike scene very interesting and perhaps that statement will have me besieged by an army of black clad squatters armed with padded lances. However this tall bike, dubbed “Skywalker” by Atomic Zombie is not only absurdly tall, its also very thoughtfully designed and and attractively constructed. It must be a helluva trip to ride a bike from 4 meters in the air.

What makes this tallbike unique is that it the rider can climb and dismount it while riding. This isn’t just a circus stunt concept. Its a practical and safety advantage: otherwise the rider would have to find and climb a suitable pole, second story window or truck roof to begin… and then find another to dismount.

Oh, and if you want to be jealous of somebody’s fabrication skills… it was built in one weekend.

There are even do-it-yourself plans for the tall bike on Instructibles. Its not likely you’ll ever see one of these, never mind convince its owner to let you try it out. So if you want to experience riding a 12 foot high bike you’ll just have to collect some bike parts and lots of tubing (electrical conduit actually). Have fun!

Goes To Solo

2010-05-21T14:22:00.001-07:00

Ridden A Tall Bike

2010-05-20T10:55:00.000-07:00

If you’ve ever ridden a tall bike, you can understand the attraction: Finally, for the first time in your bike-riding life, you’re not just traffic, you’re above traffic.

Tall bikes can be used for general transportation and recreation, just like other bicycles. Regular tall-bike commuters note that both their increased visibility and the simple 'wow factor' give them a safety advantage in automobile traffic over 'short bikes'. However, there are issues with mounting and dismounting.

It is much simpler than you might think. On the lower part of the "backbone" there is a small step. The rider stands in back of the bike, with hands holding the handlebar grips, with a foot up on the step and lower pedal to lowest position then push off to gain motion with left foot on left pedal and Pushing forward to get enough momentum to steer and balance, swing right leg over then steps up, puts feet on the pedals, and rides on.

Bike Rally, Campaign For Disaster Risk Reduction

2010-05-20T09:34:00.000-07:00

SkyWalker TallBike

2010-05-20T08:41:00.000-07:00

SkyWalker TallBike

SkyWalker is a radical two wheeler that allows the bicycle hacking adrenaline junkie to surf the skies while at the same time amusing or confusing the slack-jawed onlookers below. Sure, tallbikes are nothing new, and have been around since the 1800's, but SkyWalker takes things to new heights by allowing the rider to climb up and down the frame while the bike is in motion. What this means for tallbike pilots is that they no longer have to cling to a telephone pole to mount the bike, and worry about finding another pole when it comes time to dismount. SkyWalker is designed so that the pilot can control the bike from the ground, and all the way up to the top while climbing the built in ladder. Since the handlebars double as ladder handrails, the pilot is under complete control of the tallbike during the entire ascent.

Why would a person want to build and ride a 12 foot two wheeler you ask? To win a Darwin award? Train for the circus? Overcome a fear of heights? Set a world record? Who can say, but for me it has always been the same reason - because it's fun, and it beats sitting on my butt watching the tube!

Tall Bike Building

2010-04-16T11:55:00.000-07:00

Originated from the concept that tall bike use from wreck of bike and to raft back into a bicycle with two frame so as to appear higher than other bicycle usually, tall bike assembly does not require order or special materials due to the wreck, we are able to make proper use of bicycles on the streets and ready for use with the view that higher than usually, so bicycles will attract of other road users and they eyes saw the number of cyclists who bike related sidelined by a motor vehicle from now. for cycling activities undertaken to minimize fuel use, petroleum energy. Attitude of life is transmitted by Piero (Italian origin) who came along with other bike lovers in Yogyakarta.

Atom (26), which has helped us to create tall bike, with his expertise he has a lot of bikes finish, including BMX, lowrider, etc. and with skills that he had much help in many tall bike manufacture in yogyakarta. in making This tall bike atom typically spent 1 month at a cost of no more than Rp. 300,000 rupiah and you could have a tall bike.

You’ll need at least two old bike frames, all the parts you need to make a regular bicycle go round (i.e. working pedals, wheels, brakes, etc) plus extra chain, and a metal pole small enough to fit into your bottom frame’s fork (but must not be small enough to fit into the bottom of the top one). You’re also going to need bike mechanic tools (wrenches, screwdrivers, WD-40, etc), a bit of experience taking bikes apart and putting them back together, an angle grinder, and a welding machine.

Step One: Preparing the Frames

Pick two frames out of your pile of junk, and lay them on the ground one over the other, as you imagine them fitting together on your completed bike (see the picture to the left). Now look at the angle between the two frames’ forks. Can you create a straight line between them with your pole? If yes, then this combination should work. Now get your frames naked. This means taking off all the little bits, from the lights to the wheels and the brakes. Leave the forks on both frames unless you want to change them out or clean them up. You can also save yourself some sweat by leaving the top bike’s handlebar and seat attached. I find it incredibly annoying to remove pedals, but you need to do this anyway. Otherwise you might up melting them during welding and then you’re just fucked.

Step Two: Fitting the Extension Pole, Welding

With your frames bare, you can now affix the bottom end of the extension pole snugly into the bottom frame’s fork (from above), where the rod from the handbar mount goes on a normal-sized bike. On the top frame, where the pedals once lived, is now a little empty metal tunnel. Place this part of the bike on top of the other frame’s “I formerly held a seat” part–these are the two peices you will be welding together later.

Measure roughly how long your fork extension pole needs to be (leaving an extra bit that will disappear into the top frame’s fork) and cut it to size with an angle grinder. Then, on the end of the pole that will be inserted into the top fork, cut two horizontal slits, several inches long. Hammer these now slightly moveable bits together until the top bit of the pole fits into the bottom of the top frame’s fork. Hammer it in as tightly as you can, violence is recommended and encouraged.

In the above picture someone checks to see if the frames will work together. In the picture below the builder has removed the top frame’s fork and threaded the pole through it in an attempt to build a triple decker. She ended up a double decker though, at the end of the weekend.

Now you can weld the two frames together at the top frame pedal tunnel (I prefer to invent my own bike terminology as I go…)/bottom frame seat post, and at the point where the extension pole enters the top fork. Do a sturdy job or prepare yourself for the two-meter fall you will endure when it falls apart.

Step Three: Details

Now that your two frames have become one, you can put all the parts back on that you took off–seat, handlebars, wheels, brakes, pedals. Extend the chain to stretch between the now-higher pedals and the back wheel. To avoid needing extra-long brake cables, I like to use back-pedal brakes. And using a smaller wheel in the front is sometimes a good idea as it helps bring the center of balance back toward the center as tallbikes have a tendency to tip backward. Once you get the hang of it though, having a tallbike with the center of balance in the back makes for a sweet dismount if you’re brave enough to try it. That is, pull the bike forward out from under you, landing with your feet on the ground where your bike just stood.

This is also a good time to use the angle grinder to cut off any extra bits of metal you don’t really need–for example the place where the top frame’s back wheel used to sit or the wings hanging around on the sides of the top frame’s fork. Weld on any extra supports you think you’ll need to distribute your weight more evenly over the frame, and you’re ready for the road.

Step Four: Test Drive

The hardest thing to get used to is getting on. Everybody’s got their own mounting and dismounting strategy. I like to put my left foot up on the left pedal, push the bike a bit, and then hop on once the bike gets a little momentum. To dismount I put my right leg through the top frame (I have a woman’s bike frame on the top for just this reason) and hop off to the side. And remember that riding a tallbike involves planning–are you going to make it through the light, steer over to a sign that you can hold onto, or lean on the shoulder of a friend on a regular bike.

What Is A Tall Bike?

2010-04-16T07:02:00.000-07:00

Coming from a tradition of zany bicycle building that has eveloved on both side of the atlantic, the principle of tall bikes is simple, to push the boundaries of what a pedal-powered vehicule can be. Traditionaly, tall bike builders re-cycle used parts rather than buying new materials (which generates waste and leads to unneccessary consumption).

THE EVOLUTION OF THE TALL BIKE :

There are number of alleged explanations for the evolution of tall bikes. Some sources suggest in late 19th century, tall bicycles were specially made for Chicago's lamplighters to make it easier to illuminate and maintain the city's streetlamps.

Others claim that at a similar time, fruit pickers extended normal bicycles in the orchards of Catalonia, to reach the upper branches of the lemon trees they were harvesting.

Another root is traced back to the 1900's when British colonial troops reputedly used "unusually elevated cycles" to train their men to race camels to a sufficient standard that they could compete with locals.

No-one is certain which of these origins is the most authentic. However, the late Victorians carried out boundless experiments in the construction of unusual bicycles, the most popular of these being the tall bike. Such a trend arguably climaxed in the 1890's with the "Eiffel Tower bicycle".There is evidence of "tall bike jousting" taking place in Europe. One of the earliest records is an 1869 engraving of a tall bike tournament in Liverpool.
