Drawing - No2 Pencil Drawing On Ampad Gold Fibre Writing Pad
Description
This is my take on a modern safety bicycle.
I sketched out this No2 Pencil freehand drawing while I was riding shotgun in a work utility van. My dad and I were on our way to a quilting machine factory in Iowa. My mind is always spinning round with strange ideas and design concepts. This bike was a concept that has been rolling around for a while, and I finally had a chance to put the general idea down on paper.
The design is relatively simple and is loosely based on a large penny farthing (high wheel bicycle) rear wheel, and a standard 26" front wheel. This concept has little to do with practical purpose or mechanical advantage, and a lot more to do with "Because I can".
Hope you enjoy.
P.S. If you have more money than you know what to do with, and would actually like a bike like this made for you... I am a craftsman on many levels, and would enjoy a challenging, well paying, custom project.

I think, perhaps, that I might survive a greater distance (let alone mounting the seat) on this rather than the old design. Great fun, Jayson. - Mike (V)

Thank you Mike. I think this one would actually be a fun build, and would be plenty usable once completed.
