Bikes... Have You Seen These?

Tweet

Some friends of mine are heavily involved in the freak/mutant bike culture. This involves the heavy modification of bicycles to change their appearance and functionality. Some of them have turned bikes into things such as bunk beds, grills, and rickshaws. Other more common modifications involve making tall bikes (The addition of one frame on top of another to make the bike itself not just the seat alone taller) and chopper style. Have you ever ridden one such bike or perhaps seen some of these clubs riding? I know that there are very active clubs in Minnesota, Oregon, Washington, Tennessee, New York, Texas, Illinois, and even as far away as Australia and Africa. What do you think about this counter culture? If you have ridden any of their creations or participated in some club events, what did you think? I know that even though I was never brought into the club that I was associating with, that I wouldn't trade those friendships and experiences for the world. How about you? :)
