Two conventional bicycle frames are connected, by welding, brazing, or other means, one atop the other. The drive train is reconfigured to connect to the upper set of pedals, and the controls are moved to the upper handlebar area.<br /><br />Alternatively, a bicycle can be built by inverting the frame, and inserting the forks from the 'wrong side', flipping the rear wheel, and adding a long gooseneck and tall handlebars, then welding a long seatpost tube to the 'bottom' (now the top) of the frame. This type of tall bike is made with only one bike frame, and is often called an upside-down bike rather than a tall bike, though the seat can be quite high, depending on the frame shape used. This type can be somewhat safer, as there is less tubing between the rider's legs and dismounting in a hurry can be easily accomplished.<br /><br />Tall bikes are a popular mode of transportation for modern 'bicycle clubs' (SCUL, Rat Patrol, Zoobomb, Black Label Bike Club, The Winking Circle, Dead Baby Bikes, C.h.u.n.k. 666, Cyclecide, etc.) and activist groups. They are also a mainstay among builders of Clown bikes, art bikes, Clown alleys and parade groups. Bicycle modification is considered a fun and cheap hobby, and never fails to attract a lot of attention. Most modern cities contain large quantities of unused or abandoned bicycles that provide the raw materials for tall bikes and other mutant cycles.<br /><br />[ source: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tall_bike">wikipedia</a> ]<br /><br />flickr photos <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/tallbike/clusters/">tagged</a> with tall bike<br clear="all" /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6764275242478848095-8538200330985289428?l=thehaguecyclechic.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mariellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13616848661784043313noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6764275242478848095.post-51914469038245951812008-05-03T05:21:00.001-07:002008-05-03T05:26:04.612-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3019/2461570236_c2e9b6118e.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3019/2461570236_c2e9b6118e.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />Uit: DAG, vrijdag 2 mei 2008<br />That's <a target="_blank" href="http://www.styletoday.nl/">Styletoday</a><br /><br />Weg met de spandex sportbroekjes! In Kopenhagen is een nieuwe trend geboren die praktische fietskleding van de troon stoot: Cycle Chic. Fashion en fietsen gaan er hand in hand. Modebewuste vrouwen stemmen hun looks af op hun tweewieler, of andersom. En dus zien we steeds meer romantische fietsmandjes en versierde fietsen voorbij komen op de fietspaden.<br /><br />Een aangenaam straatbeeld dat gretig opgepikt wordt door andere steden als San Fransisco, Londen en Parijs. Wie <a target="_blank" href="http://www.google.nl/search?q=cycle+chic&amp;ie=utf-8&amp;oe=utf-8&amp;aq=t&amp;rls=org.mozilla:nl:official&amp;client=firefox-a">googled op 'Cycle Chic'</a> krijgt onmiddelijk diverse blogs op zijn beeldscherm die een ode aan de tweewieler brengen.<br /><br />Zo schrijft <a target="_blank" href="http://www.londoncyclechic.blogspot.com/">Londoncyclechic.blogspot.com</a> over de jodhpur trend (taptoelopende broek) die deze zomer veel in de shops is te vinden. Dé broek om stevig door te kunnen trappen zonder 'vast-in-de-ketting-kast-angst'.<br />Ook wijduitlopende rokken in romantische prints zijn volgens haar 'the perfect cycletrend for spring'.<br /><br />Cycle Chic sluit volkomen aan op de eco- en gezondheidstendens die gaande is. Fietsen is dé manier om snel en simpel wat pondjes te verliezen en tegelijk het milieu te sparen. Steeds meer steden investeren dan ook in een fietsvriendelijke infrastructuur. Zo is het Vélib fietsprogramma in Parijs een razend succes en ook in Barcelona ontdekken inwoners het gemak van de fiets door middel van een soortgelijk project. In deze twee steden staan op diverse plekken fietsen gestald die je door middel van een pasje kunt lenen en gemakkelijk kunt stallen aan het eind van je werkdag.<br /><br />Slimme modehuizen haken meteen in op de hype: Chanel introduceerde dit jaar een 8900 euro kostende fiets met Chanel logo en Gucci kwam dit jaar met een vuurrode limited edition City Bike. Vogue ziet ook brood in de trend en publiceerde in december vorig jaar al een 'Wheels on Fire' artikel met daarin de beste fietsen en accessoires voor fashionata's. Onlangs werd in Londen de eerste Cycle Chic modeshow georganiseerd genaamd 'Velorution's Pret a Rouler' om altijd 'hip op de fiets te kunnen verschijnen'.<br /><br />En waar blijft Nederland in het Cycle Chic verhaal? Met circa 18 miljoen fietsen heeft ons land de hoogste fietsdichtheid ter wereld!<br /><br /><br /><br />(volgens mij zit het wel goed in Nederland, want in Den Haag heb ik al diverse <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/grrrl/tags/cyclechic/">gedecoreerde fietsen</a> voorbij zien komen)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6764275242478848095-5191446903824595181?l=thehaguecyclechic.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mariellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13616848661784043313noreply@blogger.com1
