Not to diminish her skill at all, but that is a special bike, not like an ordinary steet or road one. You can tell by how the forks around the front wheel go down at a steep angle and are pretty straight. They position the front wheel back further compared with the angle of the steering column, sometimes called 'rake'. The bike tends to stay steered straight, I'm told, but I've never had the pleasure of trying one out yet.
PARENTS! This is simply what happens when intellegent human children explore and play within the boundaries set around them. Its lack of supervision that leads to messes like this. I once cleaned the kitchen floor with Comet, while dad nappped. I made some beautiful green mud before I got tired and took a nap. Dad's fault, all the way. Kids are just ignorant, they don't know how much the TV costs, all they know is that it is fun and interesting to smear paint on it. Lets hope for everyone's sake that is water based latex and not petroleum based acrylic or alykd nastyness. Those kids could instead be lying passed out and brain damaged in the big white spot, or dead, think about it.
Wow, Ken. What a find and a great snapshot. I just came across it in the Make flickr pool and came here to post it! If you would ever consider giving me a copy of the photo in hi res I would really appreciate it and respect your wishes on its use. bikenrightnow onthat yahoo place, if you want to email, I'll be adding you as a flickr friend as well.
Its sculpture. Not a bicycle, not really even a swiftwalker which predates the bike. Notice the wheels are not in the same plane, in a way that is unlike any steering method I am familiar with.
Anyway, there is nothing to get. Somebody made it, threw it together its certain, because driftwood forks are not really going to last very long, and failed forks = ouch.
Sculpture. I would point out the wiring behind it, seems to be of about the same quality and workmanship. Run it through the door and if needed, let one cable just trail off into the paved patio, what could go wrong?

But what would be the human equivalent to burrowing into a cage of 24 females (who all said yes:)
a kid in ever other state?
