Bikes built in unusual ways

Location: South Lot (Biketown) SL08

There are many ways to build a bicycle. Come see a few of the ways I've done it. Bikes built from wood, bed posts, skis, furniture, scrap metal, scooters, etc. Use your imagination. Disguise the limit! Help put the "Func" in "Functional".

About the Maker(s)

Tom Kabat

A former serious cyclist who still loves bikes. An engineer, 30 year bike commuter and bike tourer (Trans America 1976), Tom was inspired to build bikes after seeing other great home built pedal machines at Kinetic Sculpture races and a wide variety of antique bikes on display in museums. I enjoy Maker Faire as a festival of inspiration and idea exchange.
