Science Center Bike Display

The Carnegie Science Center here in Pittsburgh had a Bicycle Display last year.  I took the boys while my wife was out of town and captured some details.

Probably not any better and it's definitely tougher to make, but it is interesting.

This is what my younger son calls a 'bici al reves' or an upside down bicycle.

I like the idea of cargo bikes with huge front racks like this since I break rear wheels.

I walked away for some good pictures.  When I came back, he had made this 

and was showing me how to run it with both hands.

I guess we should all learn how to lace up a wheel and a fender??

 Old technology is interesting - a pedaled rear wheel and a trike rear brake.

Now that's a lot of spokes.  And just a bit of suspension on the seat.

This sky bike seems to be well-designed and more usable than many I have seen.  Note the extended rear triangle, internally geared hub, and cable operated steering.  This one can also be transported since it breaks down into upper and lower halves.

I'll have to visit more bike museums.
