Photo by myself at Sullivan and West 3rd Streets, in the Village.
Two fellas discussed an unusual custom bike, Tuesday afternoon. The seat is about five feet off the ground (!).
The fellow wearing the shades had custom made the frame. His buddy was asking about how to get onto the bike. Apparently the bike's owner hasn't had an accident (yet). 'I count on other people to avoid me', he confessed.
And if about to crash? 'I grab onto the nearest trash can.' Aha.
Yes, the bike works!
The friend tried but failed to get on the bike. Alas, too high a climb!

Great shooting and you know what. Last year I saw somebody on a similar kind of contraption cycling in amsterdam.
That's a an amazing bike.
It is more something to use in a circus act! I wouldn't dare to get a ride on it.
Awesome (yet dangerous) bike! I wouldn'd dare to ride it!
