    I was browsing Velospace looking at fixie bikes and came across a trick
    bike made from two Torker DX unicycles.

    'The Uni Bomber' (http://velospace.org/node/3806) (clickthrough for
    more info on it)

    Seems it was made by Mr. Pedalsworth from 'bicyclerider.com'
    (http://www.bicyclerider.com/)

    Wow, what overkill! You would hardly need splined axles on such a cycle,
    unless the rider plans to test its limits by inventing tricks with it.

    For those of you thinking sliced bread has just been invented, people
    have been making bikes like that forever, though usually the front
    wheel doesn't have pedals. This Torker DX version is probably heavy
    though!

    At least 30 pounds...

    My BMX is really heavy weighing in at 32~

    Somewhere, I have seen a picture of a similarly made vehicle (made with
    2 unicycles) and the comment that it is difficult to ride because it
    turns/bends/twists at both ends.

    Looks like it would be fun to try.

    I'm guessing they were left on because the builder was too lazy or
    unconcerned to remove them. But the brake had to have been put on
    deliberately.

    btw one of the kids in RTUC has a similar machine and I've tried it,
    it's loads of fun! I think Sem Abrahams sells them (it'd be special
    order though), and I'm half convinced I need one. 😄
