Summary: Practical - Fun - Get Started!
Review: A very, very, practical approach to diving in and building your own wierd bikes (and I thought I was the only one!) Doesn't assume much of any prior bike knowledge or skill. Also not clouded by any predujice or opinion on one type of biking vs, another - just focused on basic building and fun. Lots of cool projects and ideas - I feel "scooped" on a few. Check out the Atomic Zombie site for the latest cool tallbike.Does assume that you have some basic tool and metalworking skills, but still beginner-friendly.

Summary: Custom cool bikes
Review: Awesome! It's about time that this kind of bike building got in the mainstream. Alot of us have been doing it for years. Kudos to the authors for finally getting this book out for all of us to enjoy. I think it's the best one of its kind, and maybe the only one of its kind on the market. Lots of pictures and details for the new and experienced builder. And you can build all of these projects for very little cash. Too cool. There will be alot of choppers and Marauders on the streets now. Maybe I'll try a tall bike next. Then i won't be afraid of heights any more. If you like to be different, then buy this book. I mean it!

Summary: Could be useful...
Review: Covers weird bikes unlikely to be built by the average home builder-some seem to be of the "circus" origin. Deals with fabrication using steel bike parts from scrap.
Nevertheless, will spark your imagination to create your own. Shows detailed building of a low racer recumbent among other "designs".
Pictures are small, black & white, however the text is somewhat detailed.

Summary: Excellent
Review: Finally a book for the average person. I've already built my own Kool Kat. I'm still learning how to weld, but all of the pictures have really helped me come up with my own designs. This is the first book I've bought in a long time with tons of pics. I'll let you know how my spin cycle turns out. Yes, even chicks can build custom bikes, too! Keep up the great work Atomic Zombie. I look forward to more books in the future! When will the robot book be out? I want to get that one for my son. He thinks it's cool that his mom spends alot of time in our garage. We get to build things together and have fun thanks to your book. Hope you have a nice Christmas! Where the heck is Thunder Bay, Ontario???

Review: I finally got my copy of the book and it's great. I'm already looking forward to the next one. Since winter is here I'm going to build a Snow Bus. It looks like it will be great for our weather here. Congratulations on an excellent book and may you find peace and happiness over the holiday season.

Summary: Recumbent builders goldmine!
Review: I have wanted a fast comfortable recumbent for years, but did not think I could build my own until I read this book. After 3 days, I had the basic frame and wheels mounted! I don't think I will ever build a 12 foot tall bike, but there are a lot of new ideas in this book that I have never seen anywhere else. I give it - "Two wrenches up!" Jake

Summary: Awesome book
Review: I just got this book last month. Me and my friends are building choppers. We think your book is so cool. The web site is so awesome. Where do you get your ideas from? I want to get your robot book next year too. I hope you get in the Guinness book of World Records. That skycycle is too scary for me. Great bike designs. hope you do more books.

Summary: Practical advice for impractical projects
Review: I think every neighbourhood needs a Brad Graham. Brad's style of creative tinkering is an accessible and rewarding hobbie, and maybe even a solution to our transportation woes. This book is full of practical tips and ideas for getting started in this whimsical activity.
