World's Fastest Commute Bike to Honor Slowest

The Lightning F-40, the world's fastest production bike, will help send one of the world's slowest "bikes", the 15-person Busycle, back to Boston when its builder, Tim Brummer, talks about what makes his machines  so fast at the Nov 15 Busycle Farewell Party. Not only have Tim's bikes established a large number of speed successes, including a 5 day, 7 hour crossing of America, but Tim has over 50,000 to and from work miles on  his own F-40. With that in mind, Tim will also talk about why his bikes are great for transportation.

Nor is Tim the only attraction that will be in Palo Alto at the Family YMCA to say good bye to the slow moving comedy that the Busycle is. Besides the Kinetic Sculpture Vehicles that will astound the young and the old, Tim will also be joined by other two wheel celebrities, including Tanya Markham, the first woman to go 63 mph on a bike, authors Jobst Brandt and Martin Krieg and recumbent inventor, Jack Baker, and etc. Some of the area's best musical talent will also be hand. Besides the hard charging rhythm of the Marly Goody Band, Las Vegas sensation, Iya Khan, will also be  sounding his tunes.

Since it is a fund raiser, show attendees will also get a chance to bid on the many treasures that the Palo Alto community and beyond have donated for this cause. And before it leaves for its museum home on the East Coast, this event will give event goers a chance to make history should  they opt to go on one of the last Busycle rides this machine will ever make.
