It's got pedals and a chain and brakes, and I've ridden it around the block. It still needs some work, but i think that's enough for today

I was out riding my bike around and found an abandoned bike that can contribute some things to this crazy bike I'm building

Yes!! Yes!!!

@MLE_online 7 is about the entry level for burning man.

Because of the way this is put together, I either need to chop out part of the so the chain has clearance to reach the rear wheel, or I need to add an idler pulley like in this quick photoshop mock up. I'm leaning towards idler pulley to keep the frame as strong as possible.

Instead of adding an idler pulley, what if we just add more pedals?

@MLE_online 🤘

@MLE_online uh....

@RueNahcMohr don't be a hater

@MLE_online no no, I'm wondering where this is going on the "crazy bikes" scale! I think it just went from a 3 to an 8

@MLE_online I like the idler pulley idea

@MLE_online The trike project I did taught me there is a LOT more tension on the chain that one would expect, if there is any way to keep the idler on the slack side, I suggest it.

@MLE_online this is righteous.
Trying to imagine a rear brake; Maybe a fixed gear or a big jockey lever with an old boot on the end
