Weirdest bike I have seen.
Is in the shop because the coaster brake has been used so much that it barely works. It takes over a full rotation of the cranks to activate the brake. The hub will need to be completely taken apart. The most interesting thing about this though is what is written all over it. There is a lot of pro trump stuff written all over it combined with complete gibberish. The seat is also wildly inappropriate for this bike.

I don't consider it weird to express one's individuality in this sort of way. Much preferred to riding around with huge flags.

I like the “stop thinking”. Very appropriate for someone who barely has brakes/breaks/non-brifters.

I am going to assume the owner likes the seat, thus making it appropriate.

I was just pointing out what was written on the bike. I do not want to exclude anybody here. I find it weird because almost the whole entire frame and fork are covered with writing and a lot of it does not actually make sense and are just random phrases. The Trump stuff is the least weird thing written on this bike.

I'm kinda disappointed, @grant40. You've set a pretty high bar for weird bikes, and this is just a cheap cruiser with some wear and writing on it...

Writing all over your bike may just be the way to keep it from being stolen by 50% of the electorate. Now you just need to figure out which 50%.

It's probably not worth the bother of rebuilding the hub. Just replace the wheel with another coaster wheel, and call it a day.

Nothing unusual about that bicycle. my brother had a beat-up cruiser painted all kinds of colors when he was in college. One of the 'canuks' who used to post on BF had one that was covered in stickers.

Just junk nothing unusual or weird as usual. I feel like OP always finds a pretty meh bike usually a broken wally mart thing and is like so weird and has to post a new thread. It would be hard to do a really weird bike these days that actually would turn a head. Some people would like to see a Ferrari Dino or some other sexy car and Grant wants an abandoned Yugo that was used as a work truck for hauling manure.
