Its rolling and riding. I kind of feel like Arte Johnson from Laugh-in, I pedal a few feet then I fall over. I am waiting on a set of wide handle bars to come so I am using set of flat mtn bike ones right now. They don't work very well and do nothing for my balance.

Great we look forward to the pictures. Maybe you should fashion some temporary training wheels?

It looks even better in that shot than the one with the store-boughts in front of it. Nice work!

I dunno, Larry. I think I could give you some serious competition in the "world's most cluttered workshop" event!
I'd post a pic, but I don't wanna make everyone sick before breakfast! :eek:

For years I used to work in a chaotic shop with the giant "pile of bikes" in the center. You know the saying "great minds are seldom tidy"?..... that was my excuse!
One day I thought to myself....
"Myself, if your mind is actually great, then imagine the power your will have in an oganized workspace!"
So I aquired 200 large buckets, built rows of shelving, and sorted all parts...

Now I get the job done in 1/4 the time!
Cleaning hurts, but like all effective bad tasting medicine - it's worth it.

WOW! My hat's tipped to you! We don't have a smilie that salutes! I do straighten up my workbench from time to time. I will straighten up soon and post a pic to prove that I'm not a complete slob.

I made the mistake of air conditioning my workshop/garage. It is now the new rec room. I am confined to a 10 x 16 (feet) with no electricity. A very long extension cord is required to cut anything that needs electricity. Brad's shop is inspiring, but I doubt anything I work in will ever look like that. But I salute Brad for doing it.

My shop only looks good because I cleaned up after the build. I was tripping over crap while I was building it.

My garage looks a lot like Larry's, only my shelves are made of wood. I have a path I can walk from the small door to the workbench, then from there across the back of the garage to the wood stove. The rest is just... STUFF. It's a 2-car garage that hasn't had even one car in it for almost 5 years now. Oy.
