Well the sun was out, still cold, but I decided to try and rearrange the shed. Springs coming and I will for some reason be looking for more bikes, WHY? So, I took out all of the bikes, took pics, and put them back in, might have gained room for one more bike. Anyway heres the RATs that are in the shed (there are more in the garage, beside the garage and in a trailer) .

The his and hers skiptooth Western Flyers,
the blue WF was my first bike as an adult, $10 garage sale bike I rode around the hood and to the pub for 5 years or so. I was fine having just one bike, then I met these people who were building cool custom and rat bikes, pub cruising on there cool bikes every Thursday night. SO, I joined them, the Coasters BC, had too much fun, and BA (bicycle addiction) set in. That was 5 years ago.
And its not just me, BA has my women too. The Green WF, I bought last fall to cleanup and flip, but when she seen it, she told me "You're NOT selling that bike, THAT'S MINE!" and so it goes.

RATS, RATS, RATS, What am I supposed to DO?
I know, I need to build another shed!
 
very nice collection, or as they are rats... infestation. don't see alot of cool tandem bikes, but i dig yours as well as the rest of the collection, even an autobike. had a chance to buy a used one from my LBS last summer, but didn't. wish i had, just to have one. wish my wife had bike addiction. :D
 
dan ive always seen the picture rick has in his shop but to see the actual beer bike is really freakin cool! inspiring myself to build my own pub cruiser like that!

I just think its too funny, I havent been to a bar for a long long time but I am just picturing the conversation, " excuse me maam, we think you have had too much to drink so please hand over your keys. We have a team of professional pub riding staff on hand to escort you home...and you have to ride a slightly bent Huffy Good Vibrations home. :lol: :lol:
