Title: PIT BIKES??
Post by: dwain dibbly on January 19, 2008, 11:02 AM: they look cool :daumenhoch:
but are they actually usable for an adult???
well when i say adult 5ft 3" :-[

we do a lot of camping in the summer and usually
take some OS bikes with us. but thought it may save
room if i built a pair of pits. and i think it would
be hilarious for peddling around campsites on ;D

that homer pic reminds me of that CW pit bike they built with tiny wheels, now that was too stoopid to ride!
