Although this grouping of videos slightly diverges from the literal theme of adventure, each video captures an important characteristic of the human spirit—the need to push boundaries. That’s what adventure is all about, right?

Stoopidtall

This video can make you kind of queazy, but is pretty amazing. This 14.5 foot megabike was built and ridden by Richie Trimble of Los Angeles, CA at the CicLAvia 2013 event.

Experiments in Speed

Some of you might have seen a this video posted on Facebook, but for those who didn’t it’s worth a watch.

Bicimaquinas

Although we didn’t make it to Maya Pedal when moving through Guatemala, I had heard of the organization and was hoping to make a stop. They have made a name for themselves by creating useful machines with donated and discarded bicycles. Here is a great video showing some of their ‘bicimaquinas’. Make sure to turn on CC unless you are fluent in Spanish.

Izhar Cardboard Bike Project

In interesting look at the process of creating a bicycle from non-traditional materials.

Bonus Video: The Ligiron

Not bikes, but fast, unique and used to race downhill. I love this.
