inspired by chainsaw to lean away from GAS i have this in mind! a minibike based peddle bike ! i might narrow the frame or widen the crankshaft but either here is the rough start {the concept}

i was going to weld up some today but got interrupted when i went in to my build area it seems a family of little black finches or ? made home in that area and is very upset i intruded! i did see where the nest is and the birds went bonkers i did not go near it just looked from 20 feet away so when i left both parents proceeded to yell at me to the point where 1 just about came in my guest house! both sat right out side swalking so i told them i would leave them alone and work later on things {when they mature } so i am shut down for a short bit these birds are cool little bug eaters me likey

started welding! looks like birdcrap a bit rusty i might be it has been awhile so had to squeeze it together to get the crank in using C clamps and then bend it back out with a car jack all hytech he he yaw know crank arms are long so rear wheel position is critical i have NO plans just get out there and create as before and hope it comes out kool !

Crazy cool! I've heard several guys talk about doing a pedal/mini bike, but never seen them come through with one. Looking forward to it!

Big, I grew up on minibikes and motorcycles. I love them all, I just try to keep motored separated from human powered. The word "bikes" get confusing enough to most people. I just try not to make it worse. We even been to a few bike shows that were advertised as bicycle shows. When the motorcycle guys pulled in, things got too stupid. Also had the same thing happen at a motorcycle show. Now get back to building!
