Excellent bikes man! Great bike design of your daughters over there, I’m in Milwaukee and riding a bike at night with this cold weather makes me wish that design to be already made, I guess I’ll have to wait til it’s realized.

I really must complain about this article. While I can find no fault in your parenting skills, you clearly show a lack of consideration for readers who have recently undergone surgery. Here I sit with a recently repaired hernia, and your claustrophobia comment nearly made my sides literally split!

Some of us plan to swing by on Saturday with some metal and our welding tools and we’ll get that that whipped together in a coupe of hours. So can you make sure Katie’s got the revised drawing ready? And have some bagels and lemonade ready when we need a snack?

Man, I have gotta pick up the pace.

Good work fatty.

Insanely cute. And yes, moose antlers (or caribou for that matter) are darn heavy.

Fatty, your daughter is to be praised for her concern about your safety and comfort. Her design, however, raises many questions. Regarding the finer details, what is the frame made of? What kind of material is she using for the windows? Plexi-glass? Clear vinyl with zippers? Clear plastic wrap? There are certain advantages to either of these. The floor board, is there one? To increase lateral stability, the absence of a floor board allows one to prop themselves upright using their feet. Furthermore, standing allows for higher clearance. Areodynamically speaking, could the front be tapered to assist with time trialing? The box frame might hinder one from setting speed records. Lastly, is it roof rack compatible?

Thanks!

And hey…just noticed this, but it appears Katie very thoughtfully mounted the headset/moosebars on an articulating beam of some sort, assumingly to accomadate riders with varying arm/torso lengths. Truly a one size fits all concept. Bike Mfrs will be quick to jump on this concept if you don’t get it patented fast. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!
