Partridge Pedal Party Photos

A few of us Coasters made a short hour or so trip to the little town of Partridge, KS (pop 200+) to attend this event. It's becoming part of their yearly fall festival (Partridge Family Days). We rode in the parade which is up and back down the dirt road main street. I rode the "Bronco bike" which you'll know if you watch the video.There were some neat old bikes and some unusual homemade bikes and trikes. It was a fun day. My "pirate bike" even won a trophy

That yellow rear wheel steering bike, was Impossible to ride in the 5 minites I tried. Even the bikes builder said he has only been able to ride it 3 turns of the crank. It would take relearning to ride a bike, because the what seems natural shifting of your weight as you ride is bass akwards on this bike. It was fun to try. This was one of nine different bikes the guy had built in 2 months, there group had 3 stretched bikes, a swing bike, a kids chopper, a spin/trike combo (removable big wheels on back that drop it onto the casters), a trike that is pedal steered/powered at each front wheel by 2 people (2 front wheels and 1 back wheel), and the yellow rear wheel steer bike,wow, he is a bike builder.

I dunno what would be more fun... Trying to ride it myself, or watching others try to ride it, LOL

If I recall the guy described the time he did ride it as more of a "controlled fall".
