‘Rat-Fiets’: Ed Roth inspired bike art

It’s been a pretty crazy day (actually crazy last couple of days)… So I thought you’d enjoy taking a break and seeing some really fun bike art created by Lents neighborhood resident Tom Labonty. Check out his “Rat-Fiets” drawing below…

You might remember Tom for his homemade cargo bikes that we featured back in August 2009. Tom has created quite a following for his bikes via his website TomsCargoBikes.com. Not only does he build bikes, he also encourages other to do it themselves.

I found his “Rat-Fiets” drawing thanks to friend and local cargo bike fan Travis Wittwer. It was inspired by the work of famous hot rod artist “Big Daddy” Ed Roth.

I’d like to see it on a t-shirt! Nice work Tom.
