K'nex Bike

$K\$

A simple bike made out of K'nex. It would have been a larger, two-speed model, but I couldn't get a hold of any of those larger yellow gears. I also don't have enough bendy rods, so this bike is made with 100% old school pieces. It has an adjustable seat and handlebars.

Aug 10, 2008. 12:56 PMPineapplebobTheGreat says:

Interesting, but does it hold people up?

Aug 10, 2008. 1:22 PMTrauts says:

Nope. You can feel it bendy when you push on it but it looks soo sweet.

Sep 26, 2008. 9:05 AMBartboy says:

how much weight can it hold? necause if it can hold at least 50, you could put a little kid on it

Jan 25, 2009. 7:53 PMDrWeird117 says:

I sat on one of those TINY bikes (made for, like, 3 year olds) and peddled it up and down the aisles of a Target. Wow...I couldn't steer straight, knees kept getting in the way...

Sep 26, 2008. 9:49 AMTrauts says:

Lol, no. It can't hold more than like 2 pounds.
