Kitty http://handcar-regatta.com/?p=1450 Wired reports that the venerable bicycle turns 90 years old today (in a somewhat loose definition). The Great Handcar Regatta owes much to the Draisine and the many steadfast inventors who built upon each other's discoveries, leading to the "bikes" we know and love today! Around February 17, 1818, Baron Karl Christian Ludwig von Drais de Sauerbrun invented the first two-wheeled personal transport vehicle as an alternative to expensive and inconvenient horse travel.

Kitty http://handcar-regatta.com/?p=527 recycling, DIY (Do-It-Yourself) ethos, and mastery of the Tool. The notion of "no user-servicable parts inside" is a kind of insult and a call to arms against bland commercial proprietary-ness and to sally forth unhindered to take back our world for better with customization, reuse, fun, and IMPROVEMENT! These and many other reasons of glorious liberation and ingenuity are why we love the esteemed Instructables so fervently. Related posts:
