I could probably work it out with some googling, but I haven't got that far yet...
I'll make you a list of things to do later - Can't do right now sorry!

Oh, it has pedals now! That was the promo picture. Here's mine. No shopping baskets - only a very old saddle bag and some bottle cages.
Very cool ride, Mark

But keep an open mind... Basket, rear carrying rack, tassels for the handlebars... You could pimp that baby up real nice...

. . . . . . . and I'd be worried about fracturing carbon frames.
I dunno Bert.

Carbon fiber is pretty tough. They make airplanes with it now.

Big airplanes.

Don't forget the playing cards clipped to the forks and snapping away on the spokes.

Nice work Mike.

But.

The tassels need to be longer.

And put some cards in the spokes for that 'vroom! vroom!' sound.

Yep.
I've seen some aluminum frames fail from fatigue. I haven't seen a carbon fiber frame fail.

It's not that hard to break, I know someone who cracked their carbon frame when they just leant it against a tree (maybe a bit too hard...?). Also the amount of broken carbon fibre ski poles I've seen...

fiber frame fail.
If a fiber frame failed in the forest, and Bert wasn't riding it, will his bagpipes still make a sound?
