Their simplicity, mechanical efficiency, and sheer accessibility makes them an ideal personal possession to modify, improve, or even perhaps build from scratch if you are so inclined. Don’t have a latest and greatest bike mod to share or recumbent trike build to document? No worries, projects that cover bicycle maintenance and care are eligible for a special judges prize.
