Step 11Arm Chair Bike
Or is it "Chair Arm Bike"?
We made this one using the arm of a danish chair to make a springy seatpost and a fender at the same time. It's innertube-lashed onto some brackets we welded from whatchamacallit "chainstay" tubes. The bike looks like it's made to ride in a swamp.
The steering column is a small thick pipe that just slides into the headset. We drilled a hole through it at the bottom and put a bolt through it and the fork where the fender used to be.
Yes the handlebars are a lot lower than they should be, but we wanted to try out the bike.
It's pretty weird to be so high and crouched over at the same time.
