LINKS
This is a page of links on various sites a come across.
Some sites have cross linked, and some just are so good that I linked them here anyway.
I hope to get more soon. I know of a ton of sites out there, but listing them all here takes time.


FORT COLLINS BICYCLE SCENE
FORT COLLINS BIKE NEWS
Page of news on Fort Colin bike happenings and advocacy.
400 Smith Street
Run by Rafael, who is a great guy. You can go to this place
to get low cost parts, hang out, volunteer, or learn how to fix
a bike.

CRITICAL MASS SITES
Critical Mass Info Site
One of several  "central hubs' of CM news and links to other CM websites.

FREAK BIKE CLUBS
Some of these sites got me into this crazy hobby, so I might as well put them here.
Rat-Patrol
Nice little site and club. I've met them once. Great guys who look really scary, but
deep down, they are nice community oriented people. Check out some of their bikes.
Chicago Freak Bikes
Page on generally freaky bikes in Chicago, but also serves to tell about the current
happenings of the Rat-Patrol.
Chunk 666
One of the oldest freak bike clubs out there. Great site, though it hasn't been updated recently.
Club is still very much alive though, and you can read their blog.

Home Built Recumbents
Here are some links to various homebuilt recumbent sites.
WISIL
Great site with lots of info. Much is geared towards serious racers or speed freaks, but
there is lots of home built site links on this site. Check it out.
Down Under Bent
Some guy built a recumbent. At first glance it seems like junk, but it has a few nifty features
that you might try out. Shows that first impressions can be misleading.
20 inch bent
Home built recumbent made from a 20" BMX bike and some other parts.
20 inch bent 2
Another 20" BMX bike conversion
Recumbent Trikes
Great site with lots of info and photos. This guy builds some really nice looking recumbent trikes.
I might have to try my hand at one some day.
Home Built Recumbent Trike
Takes a while to load, and the photos aren't terribly detailed, but it is a cool DIY concept.
Recumbents for Kids
Lots of homebuilt recumbents on this page for kids.
Minnesota HPV
Lots of great links on this site, including the one for the little ones above.

HOME BUILT BIKES
ATOMIC ZOMBIE
Great guy, has a book out on bicycles that I got.Also into robotics and spy stuff. He's probably a
Canadian spy. I think he rides the world's tallest bike, but maybe he got beat.
Alternate bikes.
Lots of stuff here.
Some Dude's page o' bikes.
Lots of bikes here to see.
WORKING BIKES
Some general info on workhorse bikes and trailers. I have a fondness for bikes that can carry alot of cargo.
Organic Engines Homebuilt
This bike is based on a commercially available unit. Detailed construction photos.
WorkBikes.org
Sort of a general info site on Working bikes. Not super great, but worth checking out.
Trailers
This is the trailer I make. I must give due credit. The guy has complete instructions and plans.
Its a truly superb cart that can be built for pretty low cost in less than a day. I do sell these carts locally though.
The other trailer site.
Apparently they make these trailers in Africa as part of a program over there. You can read the text portion of the plans
but you'll have to pay to see the photos. I have not made this trailer, as it looks heaveier and more complex than the above
trailer site. However, they also might be more rugged if hit by cars, trucks, errant water buffalo, etc.
Another Traile Page
These people apparently have a similar idea as myself: Build a traile around a plastic tub.
They sell the trailers, but they have pictures showing the trailers.
Longjohn
This page is about a home built Long John bike. Basically, this design puts the rider in the rear, with the cargo in the middle.
A steering rod links the front wheel to the rider. Nice looking design.
Christiana Bikes
If my cargo trike looks suspiciously similar to the ones on this site, theres probably a really good reason.
Not exactly tons of info on building your own bike out there, but nice pictures, and you can buy one too.
Bilenky Bikes
They have some sort of front loading cargo bicycle. Nifty, though I'm not sure how readily buildable this model is.
World Work Bike Competition
Think you can handle a 220 lbs on a bicycle in a race?


VARIOUS SITES
Some personal, some random. Usually somewhat associated with bikes.
Drumbent
This is the rest of the site from the guy who brought you the Organic Engines homebuilt.
Lots more to see, and lots of links.
FixedGearMafia.org
You hit this guy, he hits you. He's also my friend, so you'd better not hit me.
Cyclist for the CSU team. Personal site.
MozBike
From the guy who brought you One Less Ute.
Bike Rod 'n Kustom
Site on Kustom Bikes of all sorts. Mostly pretty nice bikes actually.
Webzine: Updated like 4 times a year.
MotoKruisers
Tired of pedaling? Realy lazy? Can't afford a motorcycle?
Check out this site on how to put a motor on your bicycle.
WebForum: Goes up and down more frequently than the NY Stock Exchange.
Just kep trying.
Martin Krieg's page.
This guy came back from clinical death to ride across America. He's going a third time
on a high wheeler.
Steve's recumbents
Yeah, so he seems to like to make wooden bikes.
IHPV Site
Really good stuff on this site, but its really hard to find it. Usually I blunder it into it after finding some
link on Google.
