Build a 12 foot Tall Bicycle
The SkyWalker idea was originally drawn on a coffee stained napkin, and then later transferred to a 3D concept. The 3D model was used to get a better idea if the steering and transmission would actually work, since the frame was somewhat complex and involved a bizarre linked steering system. Normally, I just grab whatever scrap metal I can find and go nuts with the welder when making crazy bikes like this, but for SkyWalker I decided to follow the 3D plan exactly so I knew the final product would actually work as planned.
Why would a person want to build and ride a 12 foot two wheeler you ask To win a Darwin award Train for the circus Overcome a fear of heights Set a world record Who can say, but for me it has always been the same reason – because it’s fun.
