Check out this funky electric bike I came across downtown last week.
Also, I was watching Ripley's Believe it or Not last night and saw some guy named Roger something or other who built a double decker, twenty one seat tricycle. I've been looking for it online but have been unsuccessful thus far. Anybody else see it? Can you direct me to the guy's site? He also built a 55 seat bike for his family reunion, that was pretty cool!
By the way, they really, really, really need to think about how they play up the big ticket events for the show. The chick they've got doing it now is gorgeous but has a really aggravating way of talking sometimes. That and trying to maintain people for an hour long show (I think its an hour) for one little stunt at the end by showing the same tape again and again just doesn't work.
But they did solve an age old question of mine. What would happen if you dropped the world's biggest rubber band ball from an airplace 6000 feet up? You might think it would bounce a mile. But you'd be wrong. It cratered, broke apart and spread itself over a couple of hundred feet. The bands were still snapping inside the carcass by the time they got to it. Kind of cool but certainly not cool enough to wait an hour to see. Oh yeah, and the dude on the stilts (60 feet long stilts), that was, sadly, a huge yawn and overly dramatic. They kept talking about how he'd die if he lost his balance but I caught sight of the ropes several times. He might fall, he might hurt himself but the safety ropes would save him.
