Going by the address it appears to be a product of a shop called Circle 8 Cyclery.
Also home of Tannus 'The Airless Tire"

looks like it could double a halo thoracic brace when it fails in the middle of mongolia and gets stuck in the wheel catapulting you into a passing yak with predictable neck damage, which is guess is a plus?

I’m learning that this is pretty much the essence of ragbrai sensibility. Does it come with a pair of cut-off jeans?
And to think they sold that event to me as a positive part of moving here.
Ragbrai ain’t no BRAG
Nope.
I’m thinking I’ll work up a photo essay of the weirdo rigs this year. Can’t decide what thread I would post that in though…
But, that means you’re actually going to do it. I… I don’t understand.
I thought you were cool bro.
Ragbrai is awesome atmo.
I’m sick of bicycle cool-guys bagging on it.
There’s nothing wrong with people having fun on a bike even if it’s not the same kind of fun you like to have.

One of those deaths was of legendary framebuilder Tom Teesdale
Damn. Tough break.
Seems like the majority of deaths are heart attacks. Teesdale’s was.
Seriously, that blows.
My wife’s outdoor mentor (friend of parents) got killed by a tree. He was a lifetime expert outdoorsman, and all it took was a tree in a storm. He was just in the backyard putting the patio furniture away.
I’m not at all surprised. And I would have put money down on it being heart attacks. You can’t encourage largely sedentary people to ride a bike across a state while gorging on fried food and beer and not expect a few casualties.

I’d actually like to do RAGBRAI again. It would be hard to get a big crew together these days and that’s also part of the fun. The people who go every single year are indeed nuts though
