Big Birds Ice Cream Bike
Maker Faire Bay Area 2023
October 13th-22nd
I built this bike from scratch, based on the turn of the century penny farthing bike. It was originally built to showcase our homemade ice cream; turns out the bike is as big of a hit as the ice cream! This is built as a tricycle so that I could pedal slowly {you don't want an ice cream bike as a get-away vehicle!!} Men, grandmothers to teenage girls to children {in other words, pretty much everyone}- loves the photo opp being up so high on the bike. Additionally being up high gives one a sense of power and confidence. I have witnessed shy kids, break into a big grin sitting on top of the bike!

I have been both honored and lucky to exhibit in 3 of the Bay Area Maker Faire, including the last two, before the great shutdown. {which, of course, was not so great} I recently tested and was labeled a renegade. Can you believe that?
