There is another bumper on the side of fifth Ave, between Robinson St and the entrance to the Blvd/Parkway. Right next to the "cattle chute"


It looks as though it was violently separated fom the on which it formerly resided.


Unfortunately, when I've gone by there in the mornings, I have not had time to pick it up and securely fasten it to the front of my bike.


It could be a movement!

Since time immemorial, there's been a bumper and some car frame chunks under the bridge at the bottom of Bates Ave.

It would be pretty fantastic / tacky / fun to put them on a bunch of bikes and go on a big ride.


If we're usurping car parts for our bikes, I'd really like to get one of those seat heaters!

I'm still looking for help attaching a very recognizable car part to one of my unicycles. I have the part, I lack the tools and strut materials. Pls PM me.

Will a bike with a bumper fit on the bike-pgh valet racks? Would be kinda funny to see a dozen bumper bikes at this years party.


Also would be kinda awesome to get Aaron(sp? orginal bumper bike) to show up.

I saw a bumper bike guy (I think the original!) on Forbes Avenue this afternoon. I was coming up Oakland Avenue and there he was. I called out "Bumper bike!" but he kept going, and I feel very lucky to have had my camera at hand to get a photo (if at a distance).

Bumper bike is so awesome cause we barely know anything about him. He's like Batman or something.
