This bike was supposedly built by an orthopedic surgeon. I still can't find the gas tank. Click for a larger image.

That is a impressive looking machine.I wonder if the large bones on each side are used for fuel tanks? :??: O_o

Re: The Orthopedic Surgeon's Bike
 

Or the "spinal column"?

Re: The Orthopedic Surgeon's Bike
 

It may not need a gas tank since there's no drive chain or lighting, I'd say this is a wonderfully built piece of artwork, but probably not an actual running machine.

And I suspect that it would be a mistake to ASSume that the riding posture is somehow ideal either. :)

Re: The Orthopedic Surgeon's Bike
 

Duh!! :) Good eye.I never noticed that it had no drive system. :??: :cool:

Re: The Orthopedic Surgeon's Bike
 

Looks to me that it has a drive shaft on the left side. The tank is the pelvic area...the speedo is mounted on top of it. That's what it appers to me.

I don't see clutch or brake levers. See 4th photo. There's the sprocket but no chain. Could be a work in process, but I bet it's just nice art.

Yup, looks like lawn art to me. Kinda like this one, but the "Blue Hog" was, in fact, rideable.
