The Circle City Bicycles blog contains info on bicycles, cycling events, pro racing, bicycle touring, and just about anything else cycling related. Since our bike shop is located in Indianapolis, we focus on biking in the Midwest, but cycling fans anywhere in the world should find this blog interesting. We try to post daily Monday through Friday, but we occasionally miss a day. Each Friday we try to have an interesting bicycle related photo.
Artist Markkus Moestue riding his dinosaur bike across Norway
Norwegian artist Markkus Moestue created a three wheeled velociraptor bicycle. He then road 300 kilometers across Norway's "Bible Belt." According to Moestue, this was a protest against creationism. The frame is actually parts of three bikes welded together. For the head and tail he hand carved these from styrofoam, then coated them with glass fiber epoxy before painting.
Here's a two minute video from his trip. Watch for the reaction of a horse when he rides by. The dinosaur bike apparently doesn't climb very well. There is footage of him pushing it up a hill. There was apparently some problem with the frame - The video shows a guy named Andre welding it back together.
