The Bike Formerly Known As The White Elephant
Another work of art by UV, a tallbike of almost-professional quality. The leading edge of the Chicago tallbike craze.

Ah, the chicken chopper, the flagship of the Rat Patrol fleet. Forged alongside the Patrol itself. Apparently, when the chicken-feather paint job was being applied via the illegal use of spraypaint within the city limits, a passing cop complimented the craftsmanship.

Folks have been telling me there's a tallbike up on the north side, up around Wilson. I saw this bike while out hunting for it. I include it here because who am I to judge what is a freakbike? This little beauty has obviously been cobbled together from at least four other bikes. I only wish I knew what the wire hanger was for.

Some globe-headed kid on his glowbike. This thing looks just like the Ice Prowler, that bike some admirable wacko is trying to ride to the south pole.
The Rat Patrol was out en force that night, wearing their official patrol helmets.
That's Akira Kurachoppa on the left and The Hammer on the right.
