Unknown said...: Awesome. We were talking about Christianiacykler yesterday, and how to make them swim ... What are you going to use for the roof? Shingles? Reeds? Brezeln?; 11 June 2007 at 11:52

Unknown said...: I think the problem with making a Christianiacykel into a boat is to get the balance right. I am sure the box swims alright, but the rider would have trouble breathing under water ...

So either you need to equip the rider with a snorkle, or there needs to be a counterweight in front. A figurehead in the shape of a mermaid maybe?; 12 June 2007 at 23:54

The counter weight will be all the gold you'll salvage from the wrecks of ancient wetbike attempts. Ahhhh the open sea, blub blub; 13 June 2007 at 14:41
