MSerfozo Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 A friend of mine has a Boneshaker that he rides in local parades and such. I rode it around a parking lot for a while. All I can say is it's a good thing bicycles evolved from the high wheel era... It wasn't to hard to mount and start riding but it's a bear to keep going, especially if there's any uphill grade. Each time you push the pedal, you have to fight to pull the handlebars the opposite way. Dismounting is the hardest part, you can't just stop pedaling and kick your leg over - the pedal you are standing on will stop the wheel and cause an immediate stoppie!

Back in the times when these bikes were prevalent, engineering hadn't yet been invented--nor had common sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Punk Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 I wouldn't have the balls to ride something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season I was riding my fixed gear on 50 mile club rides. I couldn't do that right now, as I am way out of condition..but I think I could at least make it a few miles on that thing. Unless you're being snarky, in which case, nevermind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
