Fall Gravity Shoot-Out

Today was our bike clubs Fall Gravity Shoot-Out. It’s gravity racing down an old Soap Box Derby hill in the big city. We do this twice a year. In addition to racing my old klunker made from 2 bikes, I had the privilege and pleasure of racing a fine example of what a gravity racer should be. It’s one of three that was built by a friend of ours. A lot of the racers are bikes and those that are trikes and cars are generally made from bike parts. More on the event here.
