  • I build a bike manual machine out of a cedar log using only hand tools. Everything I made on this project is out of cedar wood including the rope! Getting to work each piece of this project by hand is such an amazing experience. I love every second I spend working on things like this. When you work with hand tools its an exercise thats fun and creative all at once! Let's get more intimate with wood, people!

    500 years front now, when the wood is prettified and explorers find it under 30ft of permafrost, they'll think it was some type of torture device. The future Mike Rowe will be the narrator.

      @@BackyardTrailBuilds don’t know if you will ever see this, but you need to ditch the chain when on the manual machine. You won’t have the tension of the pedals to keep ur balance like that. Because when no song forward your wheels will want to pedal. It’s more like a balance bike than anything atm. Just here to help!

    So stoked on this. I've been building some all natural trails and making all of my stunts out of hand cut black locust. I appreciate that you're moving toward a sustainable style. There is a lot to be learned here. You don't need an mtb hopper or a skid steer to have the best trail. You need to the the most creative. What we build will rot away in the forest eventually. It is so important to build sustainably. This is baller. Drop a line if you come ride pisgah.

    To really get the most from a manual machine/ balance trainer, you should be doing it chainless. When rolling in a manual, the small amounts of forward rotation you may impart are usually not enough to have much resistance. In the manual machine the wheel being dead stopped allows you to load up the drivetrain to help you stay up.
