When there's one quality how-to on something you're interested in, you may or may not build it. But, when you hit around half a dozen well-documented builds, it gets a lot harder to put the project off.

Such is the case with me and tall bikes:

• Building a better tall bike. But who wants brakes?:)


• Tim Anderson's no-weld version


• The really-tall Skywalker TallBike Project


• Catty Scrap Tall Bike: looks like one bike suspended in the air over another


• Tall Bike Construction in the Andes (!)


• Tall Bike Building: short and sweet

The world record is currently 18 feet; anybody ready to challenge it?
