Bike, Scooter, and Chopper Projects for the Evil Genius - Reviews
I purchased this book and also the Bicycle Builder's Bonanza by the same author because I wanted ideas on how to build my own
recumbent bike or trike. The plans and details are awesome, and Brad often explains why certain design decisions were made. I think the
best thing about the book is that it inspires me to go out and build something. My mind is already cranking on how to
modify the designs presented in the book. Now, my only problem is deciding between the Delta Wolf and the Street Fox!
