And a fixie too.

I wonder how long it took for the guy in the rear to get something stuck on that chain and crank right in front of him. Hopefully not a finger.

And the sewing machine is not driving the bike!

Is little sister's job on the front to shout, "Clear the way! We don't have any brakes!"?
