Christ told me one time to get a razor, but did I listen?!? Same goes for a toothbrush.

Cool & crazy bikes similar to the Portland Oregon area. I think there is a club of those high riders. I have seen them riding many many times all together down town.

Tallbikes are really old, I did saw pic of tallbike, label under that did say that it was gas lanter operator's vehicle from 1890's or something like that, street lamps were gas operated in England before electricity and there was special bicycle for the job.

I had no idea before I stumbled on pic of such.
