Wooden Wedge Bike

Step 8 Looking under the hood of the empty Wooden Bike box

This is the view of the inside of the completed bike.
I enjoy the mystery of its emptiness.
"Hey, you said this plywood box had a wooden bike in it and all I see is a chain and a couple of wheels!, I've been had."

Cut a strip of plywood for the top plate that will be screwed and glued to the top of beam.
I cut mine 4-1/2" wide the whole way up. so it extends 1/2 inch past the beam on each side forming a rabbit? or shelf for the side triangles to securely rest against.

For extra comfort you could have your top plate start 4-1/2" wide at the front and get progressively wider towards the rear (and your rear). It would accommodate little riders with little rears and taller riders with wider rears.

Glue it and nail or screw the top plate to the top of beam.

Cut out the Plywood triangles so they match and are the desired angle but are a little long. We trim the bike to length later. (Don't you just love wood?)
