@wewilhelm yes i am still trying to finish this series we got a late start on it and I was in shcool in the fall and am now starting a now job (realitor) but hopefuly very soon thanks
ya the economy is a difficult thing kinda cool to see you express how it works an effects us and my tail hasnt seen a bicycle seat in like 10 years i guess lol i have the same trouble with the gut an all if you know what im gettin at lol
Okay, back to the topic: My Dad's first bike was one he made himself at the age of 12, with parts salvaged from the dump.
It was the Depression and that was the only way he was going to get one to ride to his job working in the muck fields (where they grew vegetables, horseradish, and peppermint). I recently dug my bike out of the storage barn. . . I need the exercise and the kids love it when I ride around with them.
OMGosh -- I'm having an ADD moment (bicycle? what bicycle?) and am totally distracted by the darling "canned ham" vintage camper behind you!! I can't believe it's just sitting there out in the weather. . . It took me two years of looking to find mine. . . and there sits one, right on youtube!!

Just got started not realy sure how much we will make you can apply anytime at the bottom of the screan they will aprove you or not then if not try again in 2 months
now see, that's the kind of ingenuity and thought many folk's need to think about . bicycle's have been around longer than cars have, there's nothing wrong with using something that's tried and proven as a bike to get around with. excellent idea and as always great video my friends.
i did very much, and thank you. i have'nt ridden one since i was a teenager lol , also riding one four miles on gravel roads getting to work out at the hog units in the dead of winter with unplowed snow on the road would be a great excuse not to come in to work, hey that's a great idea, you think they will fall for that ? lol, just joking.
makes me wanna restore my bike after watching this
