MONKEY LIKES SHINY: TON UP TRACK BIKE
I usually don’t go for concept bikes but I’m stoked on this project from Monkey Likes Shiny. They’re working on a prototype track bike engineered for speeds in excess of 100 miles per hour!
The conceptual drawings look pretty crazy and I’m excited to see the thing in action. For now, we can follow the build process of the 100 mph track bike over at Monkey Likes Shiny.

But for now, enjoy these fine studio shots by Jesse Weiner.
