Help Reverse Cycle

I don't believe there is an easy way to build a reverse bike, I know
Unicycle.co.uk sells them, but they are expensive. Probably the best
way to learn to ride one is to ride your normal bike with your arms
crossed, lay down some obsticles and weave through them, forcing
yourself to think about which hand to use and how to turn.

Weld a bike in such a way that the front wheel is stuck in the straight
position. If you can learn to ride it without any correctional
steering then you might be able to ride the bike at the fair in the
same way.

And it sure as heck wouldn't hurt to learn to ride a normal bike
no-handed.

It is actually quite easy, though. Just cut out a spare headset from a
junk bike [or make something that would replicate it] weld or otherwise
fashion a way to attach it firmly to the original bike's headset so it
is right in front of it. Weld or otherwise attach a cog, or even half a
cog [I don't know where exactly to get one, either, but there has to be
some ingenious item that you can use from Home Depot I find it has
everything I need, if I ask the right people] to the handlebars. Attach
the other [half] cog to the forks through the front [junk] headset so
that the two cogs mesh. And that's it. There are many pictures over
here http://tinyurl.com/oals8

Below is a picture of one Tommy Miller brought to NAUCC last year. The
construction looks pretty simple, though the instructions above should
be easier than machining that big block of metal. I'd stick with whole
cogs/gears though, otherwise you'll need to put "stops" on your
handlebars so they don't go too far.

Riding with your hands crossed, though it doens't cost anything, isn't
going to do it. Your balance system and responses remain the same. It's
actually very easy. I tried the bike in the picture, but didn't take
the time to work it out. I imagine it could be done in an hour or
less.

Also, a bike that can't steer isn't going to be very effective either.
Even if you can ride it, you won't be able to keep the reverse bike's
handlebars from moving. As soon as you think, you'll steer the wrong
way. This was my experience from learning a two-wheeled (stacked)
unicycle. That took me about an hour total as well.

try riding the bike while it's rolling backwards. you face towards the
handlebars, but the bike rolls so the back wheel is in front.
