In addition to the 150,000 cyclists that took to Venice Blvd. on Sunday, at CicLAvia VI: CicLAvia To the Sea, the “King of CicLAvia” was crowned. The crown was not awarded by the event-creators, but by the buzz surrounding Richie Trimble’s over a hundred pound, 14.5 foot – to the seat, 17 foot – to eye level, tall bike: “STOOPID TALL” aka “Big Boy” as it made its way from La Cienega to Venice beach.
Reminds me of my when I was young and stupid. Never had a bike that tall but had a 15′ unicycle. Was a bitch getting it set up so there was zero slack in the chain.:-D.
Keeping one’s balance would seem to be real important here…
