Long Beach Cyclists member Scott Casey forwards us a snapshot of his new bicycle made of leftover corks. Although he didn’t make this claim, we are certain that Scott’s new bike floats.
We suggest that Scott try pedaling from Long Beach to Catalina Island… and if that works, then he should consider a longer voyage. The image of the T.S.S. Volendam is included here to inspire him. Perhaps Scott may wish to pedal across the ocean in the surf of a very large ship.
On the other hand, we ask ourselves how is it that Scott accumulated so many corks. (What does he stuff into his bike bag?) Also, we ask ourselves how much air Scott pumps into his corks, because his knees might get wet if the corks are low. And we ask ourselves how Scott’s wheels spin, given that they don’t have real axles.
Scott, happy cycling on your beautiful cork bike!
Riding the bike across an ocean? It sounds like Scott got some help emptying those wine bottles!
