  1. a mower would be [censored], unless it's a 2 stroke they wont work when turned
    on their side, and they dont have a centrifugal clutch, which makes
    everything a lot harder

    In theory, there is no difference between practice and theory, in
    practice, there is.

  2. mower wouldn't be as good though because theres no clutch, you would
    always have to be moving. thats why chainsaws are the best.

  3. the thing with a chainsaw is that it is either off or on. on a mower you
    can ajust the speed. i know 2 people who have made mower motor powered
    bikes and they worked fine. you can rig it up so it engages on the
    wheel or it doesnt so you dont always have moving.

  4. make a 2 wheeled BC!!!!
    ridable horizontal, or vertical the plates would have to be fixed for
    vertical riding and you would need something to hold your legs up
    against
    that would be sick🙂 :o 😉 :p 🙄 😎 :eek: 😕 😄 🙁

    Make a giraffe unicycle out of a bike, but leave all the main bike parts
    complete. Leave on the front tire, etc. Then just add the seat,
    lockout the hub and shorten the chain.

    haha ... im gonna make a Guni giraffe outta a bike!!! but why would you
    shorten the chain?

    A giraffe with a rear derailer would be un ridable. Generally, a geared
    bike with a rear derailer needs the chain shortened to become single
    speed. A single speed bike obvously wouldn't need that mod.

    Have fun with the project, don't forget that it will be uncomforable to
    UPD off of it since there would be so many pointy bits.

    Try and make a reverse bike. One that works like a double stack uni.
    You'd have to invert the hub and you could attach some stakeboard
    wheels to the bottom of the bike wheels so it goes forwards as you
    pedal backwards.

    I made something kinda like that, but it was actually two bikes stacked
    on top of each other and you had to pedal backwards, it was pretty
    cool, but really hard to go up hills on.

    http://scul.org/SCUL/SCUL.html There is a picture of one like it
    somewhere on this page, along with a lo tof other cool bikes.

  13. Giraffe. But with shoulder supports above the wheel, above that maybe
    something to strap your torso to, and then pedals to top it all off. In
    other words, you would ride it upside down, with your feet straight up
    in the air. We will need to see video of your freemount technique.

  14. recumbent unicycle. You lie down on some sort of seat that hooks onto
    the frame. Then put some cranks up there and a chain that runs to a
    wheel at the bottom. Extra points if its geared. Lots of points if you
    make it so you can change gears. Even more if you can coast and shift
    gears!

    Well...okay, I could've done that too. But my way, they get to read
    about it as well as just seeing a picture. 🙂

  20. if you go with the girrafe idea, try to get a fiked gear hub, much
    safer than locking the freewheel
