Friday Flashback: the Day The "Skull Swing Bike" Met It's End (many pics)

On this day one year ago the infamous little "skull swing bike" met it's end....This custom built swing bike did last almost a decade before, while riding up onto a freeway overpass. the frame broke and the bike sank down and was permanently out of commission...

I got a lot of great use out of it and we did salvage many party that are now on my newer swing bike.. but that skull bike spent many miles on the boardwalks of both San Diego and Santa Barbara...
