There's tall bikes and there's tall bikes but this is the tallest we've seen. Check out the amazing POV footage from this hacked Huffy beach cruiser. At over fourteen feet to the saddle you need a real head for heights and some climbing skills just to get up there. And once it's rolling through the streets of LA there's no putting your feet down at the lights. Enjoy!

14.5ft to the saddle… you better not go under any low bridges. What? Oh…

@The_Ewan Exactly, I'm thinking Motobecane and Serotta, just to name two brands that should have been allowed to die with dignity.

Spot on! Ah, that's where you lose everyone, particularly when the group is an out-group / they're "other".

@jackcycles I doubt it TBH. Ed Hill comes across as a kneejerking, culture warring plank. In his whinge about the side roads he identified mutliple problems with the junction as to why he could not see, which as a Councillor he is in a perfect position to have fixed. But having done all of that, he then proceeded to demand that the problem was cyclists and priority. The guy is fustylugs.

Sooo the whole Accell Group has gone from insolvency to total bankruptcy overnight. No shipped orders since 04.08, nobody on the phone, no sign of life anywhere in the company. The situation must be shockingly dynamic, though, as the website is still operating and they even launched a new discount on some products while being unable to ship any goods from their warehouse! What a mess.

Still have my year 2000 Mud Dock supplied Cannondale H700 Hybrid (USA made frame; hydraulic rim brakes), although quite a few components have changed. Was living nearby and had my bike stolen; Mud Dock sorted out the insurance replacement. With all the accessories the bill came to £1000.00 which felt like a lot of money for a bike then.

@kingleo OK...on the face of it you are saying that all black women share the same traits as all the white women who aren't good enough to ride the Tour. I'm hoping that's not what you're saying, could you elucidate your meaning a little more?
