The Rag and Bone six-wheel bicycle

Posted by John Brownlee, July 16, 2008 9:15 AM | permalink

Gestating in the oily, embryonic womb of some great velocipedic goddess, the Rag and Bone bicycle looks like it prenatally absorbed three or four of its twins... the steampunkish bicycle analogue to Total Recall's Kuato. I totally dig this.

Going back and looking at this (repeatedly) makes me realize that between the steel surround and the inflated tire that spare wheel is probably a fair-to-middlin' shock absorber if it's set up correctly.

I really can't get enough of this cool looking vehicle.

>How many wheels are there?

Seems to be five on the ground and at least 2 attached to the frame.

So its a five wheeler, unless we want to start saying the average automobile is a five wheeled vehicle because of the spare.

Yeah, I count 5 wheels on the ground... making it not a bicycle but a "quintcycle". Of course, if it did have six wheels then it would be a sexcycle - woo-woo!

It's cute and all--certainly, there are worse things to do with a welding rig--but the only question that really, really matters is: how does it ride?

no, no, no.

it's an inline tricycle with training wheels, and a spare.
