Yay! The new bikes coming along nicely (albeit a bit crooked in places.. but that’s rat patrol!). Taking inspiration from Jase’s swing bmx, I’ve adapted the swing idea chopper stylie.. oh and did I mention it looks tough?

It remains to be seen whether or not this creation is even rideable… I’m betting I’ll get the hang of it or at least break my other wrist trying. One really nice feature is the built in security system… anyone tries to steal this art piece from outside the pub.. I’m betting they won’t get far.

This might need to be taken into consideration of course given that reduced spatial acuity will most definitely be a foreseeable issue on pub rides… not that anyone in rat patrol rides drunk.. of course. I’m thinking of making some kind of pin to “turn off” the swing in times of “spatial uncertainty”.

This bike is going to be pretty evil (for a girls bike!) with paint substituted for black shaggy fur. Still some work to go... need a bottom bracket, and some reinforcements. I think I’ll call him G’mork… Aweee.
