Several people pointed out the wonderful collection of user submitted photos of steam powered bicycles over at Make:Blog a few days ago – and it would be negligent of me not to mention them here. From the fictional Artimus Gordon’s steam-cycle in Wild Wild West, to the all too real and dangerous cycles of the “Motorcycles 1899″ book – adding steam power to a small, human-personal vehicle is terribly Steampunk. Do follow the link to see some of the inventive ways people decided to let the steam take the strain!
Mere days later, another steam ‘bike’ photo was submitted to Make – though they didn’t know the origin of it. You’ll find it here, with more info. Apparently it was taken at the New England Wireless and Steam Museum Steam-Up – and the next one will be held a couple of days from now on the 30th September. It sounds like quite an opportunity to see strange and wonderful steam and Steampunk contraptions.
