Barrell Bicycle Big Hit In Parades
 ✖  |
I built this barrel bicycle for use in parades. It rolls along on old wooden whiskey barrels instead of tires. The bicycle has been in five different parades and won first prize for best entry in each one. It uses a standard bicycle frame with 3/4-in. dia. steel pipe bent to form the forks for each barrel. The bicycle pedals turn a jack shaft that chain-drives a sprocket on one side of the rear barrel. The white oak whiskey barrels were used to age whiskey as well as hard cider used to make apple wine. The small keg mounted on the handlebars holds 1 gal. of whatever the driver wants to drink. (Charlie Henderson, 5651 Wilson-Burt Rd., Burt, N.Y. 14028 ph 716 778-7827)
