Riding any bicycle is a positive step toward a healthy lifestyle and personal enjoyment, but it's the tall bike that has the power to change the world. The tall bike remains on the fringes — only embraced by the daring, the creative and the foolish. Join the Zenga Bros for as they explore how to build, ride and coexist on a tall bike.

The Zenga Bros mission is the eccentrification of the world: To create everywhere, redeem everything and be a fool. Welcome to the modern tall bike movement.

Completely against logic and common sense. Anybody that has ridden two wheel vehicles understand the point of a low center of gravity. The higher you are above that point the harder it is to balance and control. I've spent a lot of time racing dirt bikes and on mountain bikes and I can tell you the tall bikes are for fools. What's the point?

Exactly. With bikes, as in cars or motorcycles, a high CG is the enemy of performance and stability.

As a 67 year old lifelong bicyclist (touring, commuting, endurance riding) I could see how it would be fun to ride one just for some silly fun, somewhere there's no traffic. But save the world? Ridiculous.

You can use the Edit button within an hour after posting. I quit riding a motorcycle after several people I knew - directly or indirectly - were killed in road accidents.

I ride my bike every day for about 15-20 minutes I don't wear a helmet. Sometimes I ride in my slippers. I am not afrid of cars or anything else when I ride. I keep my bike in my garage. So far I have ridden exactly 0 miles--it's a stationary bike.
