Default Rototiller bike... WORKS

so here it is.
I am one of the few people to use a rototiller on a bike... I do not know why! it is very fast! this friction bike uses a mag-lite (could not find a bike beg...) for a spindle. the mag-lite has washers that keep it from slipping on the wheel (to the side) the mag-lite is bolted to a piece of the clutch.

(i do not know why it looks crooked but i assure you it is not...)

the motor can be lifted up to start and then lowered to go
it uses a craftsman rototiller engine, and i had to have it tipped just right so it DOES get gas flow

POTENTIAL PROBLEMS INCLUDE:

my first two spindles broke, but this on will probably hold

anyway
the only other prob is the first bolt to support it was put on with a crappy wielder, but my kind nieghbor fixed it with his arc wielder.

so yea i just thought i could inspire someone to make another cuz ive only seen very few.
