Met a friend for a ride yesterday and this is what he rolled up on. The left and right side of the seat move independently :eek:

Looks like with a decent tree to lean against, a man could have a reasonable nap on that thing! I mean add a tarp and you've got a bicycle camper. :lol:

Friends don't let friends ride ugly bikes...

If it works for them, super.

I suspect this might make seated cycling as uncomfortable for me as the rowing machines at our rec center. My seat can endure ten minutes before I have to get off the thing and go run or lift weights.

And the search for a more comfortable seat goes on...

We do what we have to do, to ride!

That poor steering tube.

Oh, my eyes! Can't unsee that!!

In reality, if someone actually rides, then even a bowling pin would work.

Did you ride with a bag over your head and eye cutouts?

downhillmaster 09-28-23 11:07 AM

The upside is that I look pretty damn cool riding next to that. Regardless of what I’m on :roflmao2:

Aero bars?

I would never criticize another man's ride, but that is one ugly bicycle.

I actually know a guy who has a saddle sort of like a cross between what is on that bike and the one in the latter photo posted. Allows him to ride despite some sort of prostate problem. He's no slouch either.

The can of mace on the top tube should have been used on whoever advised how to set that thing up :roflmao2:

chaadster 09-28-23 12:04 PM

God save King Fred, that thing looks like death waiting to happen.

delbiker1 09-28-23 12:22 PM

It ain't my bike or body, as long as it works for the owner, ride on.

SW84 09-28-23 12:30 PM

I put a shock absorber seat post on my mtb, and left it a little loose in the adjustment, so it will move a little left and right while pedaling. Also put an inflatable seat cover on it. Takes some of the stress off my skinny butt. I also put an 8" handlebar stem extension and aero bars on it to relieve the numbness from the carpal tunnel syndrome I have in both wrists. OH yeah, and it's a cheap BB store bike. Let the hating begin.....LOL
