Ran across this in Make Magazine, http://www.bigkidbike.com/, these are totally custom bikes, with names like Bigger Wheel, Lizard, and Kitten. They’ve got a short video of each on the site, worth looking at!

Read more "Chicago Next Week"Live Writer tends to be one of those applications that you spend a few minutes configuring and then you forget about the changes, at least until you need to move to a new machine.
