  1. Here is a video of me riding Skippii's geared giraffe in front of my
    house today. It shows my method of mounting it, and an example of some
    of the speed you can get with it.

    here is just a short video just showing the speed:

  14. My old boss had a giraffe like that, it was insane to ride. I'm no good
    with numbers, but it was one pedal revolution = 3 turns of a 20" wheel,
    someone with some brains can work that out 😉 It was impossible to
    mount alone, you had to be pushed until you got up some speed

  15. 3 turns of a 20= 60 inches.
