Ben Lowney Lets Me Take His Antique Bikes For A Spin
Four months ago, Lowney purchased this Japanese bike off eBay. The “Road Puppy” is a fold-up model designed in the mid ’50s. It’s got 14-inch wheels, one of which is currently missing.

Lowney constructed this flying bicycle 10 years ago for an exhibit up in Santa Fe. He calls it his “chitty chitty bike bike” and claims it's extremely difficult to ride. For some reason, he wouldn’t let me take this one out for a spin.
