Topic starter

Ingenuity is the quality of being clever, original, and inventive, often in the process of applying ideas to solve problems or meet challenges. So show me what you have done to your bike, be it of any type, that you think falls into this category!

Sandy can't reach the propedal lever, but this is operated from an old gripshift and works a treat.

Shhhh!!! I'm on the next season of Dragon's Den with those. Amazing weight savings, no punctures, but the ride's a little harsh.
