The ingenuity and sheer balls of some New Yorkers is really quite commendable, and as we start to take a closer look at this special breed of crazy, we’re excited to share more.

We’d like to welcome ‘Urban Ingenuity’ with a study of a classic New York “Hooptie”.

This thing has it all! No, really, this bike has almost everything. Flashlights as lights, shin guards, a stick shift, a ton of reappropriated parts, and of course the milk crate for carrying anything and everything.
