  • how much does a bicycle like that cost?

  • Plan on spending $3000.00 IF you can find a good one.

  • Ll how do you get off them?

    My neighbor has one..he let me try it..and I just fell. :( lol.

  • Very carefully.

  • Too bad the bike is slightly too large for the rider. He loses the lower pedal whenever he makes a turn. A properly fitting bike would allow power to be applied at all times, and losing pedal contact makes it harder to do this. As a result, this rider would have a hard time riding safely under real-world situations (in traffic, up & down hills, for longer distances).

  • Yes, it is true, this bike is too large for me. My favorite size is my 56" wheel. This was a loaner while that one got repaired.

    I did learn to ride this one quite safely. Actually did a 50 mile ride from Davis to Folsom on it back in 2004.

  • is it hard to make turns on those?

  • Its comical, its hplessly impractical and very dangerous to the inexperienced. Why do i want one so badly then?

  • man, id love to have one to make into a uni. 60" is pretty freakin big. i could imagine you could really haul ass on that thing.

  • i wood love 2 have 1

  • @barefootted

    if you ride right with a 56'' wheel, whats your height (I want to know which size can be good for me)

    thanks

  • where can we get one of those ''Dave Moore'' bikes ? are they too much expensive ?

  • 50 miles? Wow that is awesome BFD. I think I did one mile on my brother's PF. His was just a bit big for me as well. Lost my foot on the down pedal. Great conversation piece though. Everyone stopping and watching. :-)

  • holy crap dude thats pretty ballsy how hard was that
