  1. i just finshed glueing the pvc to form my frame!!
    it is super wide and is gonna be really hard to ride, as it is a
    motorcycle tire and i really hope it works, im most worred about the
    glue since it is lamanite flooring glue. once i finish it i will post
    pics before i ride it so that you see it before it gets ruined,
    hopefully it wont though

  6. this sounds really funny. Hopefully it will work for at least a little
    while. It would be neat to see a video of riding it, plus then it would
    be worth it even if it broke right away.

  8. i will this weekend for sure!!!! but the lamanite flooring glue didn't
    hold in fact it made it more slipery so that didn't work and now i dont
    know what to use so please give me some suggestions i was thinking of
    getting some glue they have at the local art and craft store that looks
    like it would hold pretty good but im not sure so ill update more on
    saturday night around 10 and it will include pics and if it doesn't on
    saturday night then sundays update definatly will!, i might be able to
    use my stepdads old motorcycle seat too but it is huge so id have to cut
    a lot off and i dont think he wants me doing that.

  9. You gotta have duct tape on that thing. Who needs glue? get enough
    duct tape, and you can hold anything together.

  11. this summer i made a hockey net out of pvc and it doesnt even budge with
    duct tape, but that would kinda not work for the pedals(which might not
    be pvc i havent decided yet) and the rim which definitly will be pvc and
    for an inner tube im using inflatable basketballs!!! mini ones!

  12. For pvc, its called “red hot blue glue”. Get it at your local hardware
    store for about $2.00.

  13. Or you can just use pvc cement you can get at any hardware store. Just
    go to the plumbing section.

  15. Use some (very) old 2 x 4s for the cranks, then you could nail on
    something clever for the pedals.

    i would but i dont have an extra car wheel laying around,

    does anybody have an old saddle and seat post they want to donate to
    the project?
    if not ill just get a cheap bike from a garage sale for like 1 dollar
    then like take the pedals off it and then like use the seat also!

    but i might eventually get a good seat and seat post combo if it
    actually works
