What a abuse of a 350 Honda not to mention the slack in the chain.  |

Actually..... no. Which reminds of the guy who asked his girl if he could get in her pants. So she gave him a pair of her panties (and a very strange look).  |

Can you imagine trying to ride that thing in high winds or rain?
I can just see a huge waterfall running down the shoe and onto your back.

I refuse to imagine riding in that thing. |

I wouldn't ride it in the rain or high winds. Or in a gay parade. Or a straight parade. Or in daytime. Or when anyone might see me. But I'd watch if they made 25 of them and raced them at Daytona. |

Jess, Daytona could have a race. The shoe bike would be only one of many crazy creations at Biketoberfest in Daytona Beach. Headed down Main Street you might see a 2-wheeled hamburger, coffin bikes, movie monster bikes and the "Life of Jesus" bike. The costumes are not all rated "G".
I see these things and think "How did they do that?".

I've been told there's a message behind every work of art or creation. My first thoughts were trying to figure this out. Having absolutely no idea why anyone would build such a thing, I'm writing it off due to bad parenting, the use of illegal drugs or, just plain ole debauchery. Some folks are just weird. Just another attempt to normalize weird to our youth IMHO.  Rams |

Having absolutely no idea why anyone would build such a thingI'm kind of a student of human nature. My guess is the guy ended up with the big high heel shoe for free, and then thought... what could I do with this thing that would be fun? I could be wrong. It's certainly not street legal, and probably uninsurable (to drive). Maybe he had recently watched this old turkey.

... Maybe he had recently watched this old turkey. Art is not necessarily precise but someone made a significant mistake in that poster. That woman in much taller than 50 feet. |

So as I'm apt to do, I got curious... Did some image searches... Found what appears to be other angles of the same vehicle:   This image was from the May 22, 2011 Houston Art Car Parade:  Found this one too, which appears to be similar but (Beyond pink vs red) slightly different:  The writing on the sign caught my eye, some enhancement and it appeared to say "City of Marikina" so I googled on that, and lo and behold - "The Shoe Capital of the Philippines" https://www.marikina.gov.ph/our-city |
