Beginning the Frame
We've been busy for the past few weekends building the kinetic sculpture. Most of the drivetrain parts arrived so we could start seeing how that stuff fits together. I now have lots of sprockets and bearings to play with.
We also picked up 120' of 1 1/2" chromoly tubing for building the frame. We started welding together the beginnings of the bike frame. Now that things are starting to come together it's easy to imagine how awesome this thing is going to be. We're definitely getting excited!

We're now in the last few days of the kickstarter campaign. Thanks to your generous support, we've been funded for a while now. But, we have plenty more things to purchase. You can still help us out by sharing a link to this campaign on Facebook or whatever works for you. Thank you all so much for the help! We can't wait to get this thing on the road.

Join us for a drink or two on St. Patrick's Day to celebrate our progress! We probably won't be finished, but we hope to have a working drivetrain that we can pedal around. Be one of the first to ride the bike! (Maybe.)

A ride with 5 of your friends aboard the Moveable Feast. The Feast will be roadworthy and legal, so we'll be able to ride anywhere that cars and bikes can. Myself and a friend will load up the bike and bring it anywhere in Los Angeles of your choosing. You can pick who fills the other 5 seats. Makes a great gift!

You can fill 6 of the seats with yourself and friends. Do we cruise down by the ocean? Through Hollywood? Downtown LA? Your choice! I can't think of a more unique triple date!
