I noticed this fabulously furry and pink mini-tall-bike parked in the racks at my daughter’s school this morning…
My daughter Eleni (age 5) isn’t quite sure what to make of it.
I never saw the owner, but I hope to run into them some time.

Hahahaha! Daughter doesn\’t look to sure about that…
😀
I love it.
Mini
plus Tall
equals Just Right
That\’s Fiona\’s new bike! She is a rad (and always colorful) zoobomber, who put on the 2007 minibikewinter fashion show. I love the expression on your daughter\’s face!
That thing is amazing! I love the look on Eleni\’s face. . .
wow how do they ride this?? hehe
How don\’t they ride this??
Er… I\’m sure she just rides it. Those things don\’t handle much differently than a regular bike the same length.
It\’s pretty funny to me that people don\’t get how easy it is to ride most freak bikes. Sure, mounting a tall bike has a little trick to it, but they\’re easy once you\’re up there. The hardest-to-ride bike I\’ve made was a low chopper with a 6 foot fork.
That\’s awesome!
BTW, I learned in Ray Thomas\’ legal clinic at the BTA that the new passing law requires cars to stay far enough away that if the rider falls over, he won\’t hit the car. So… tallbikes should warrant at least half a lane or more.
Heh, yeah Im fiona, its my bike, and Im so glad something I made made a little person make a face like that. Made my day.
