I think you also check your liability insurance. Every time I see a tall bike, I think of the old bone shakers and the reason the new generation of safety bikes were called that was a cyclist was much less likely to crack open his head when he fell off. Does this one feature the Flintstone stopping method as well?

Brake or no Brake, the fun thing about this bike is the absurdity of it… Tall bikes in general aren’t safe. (And probably the last thing on the mind of tall bike riders.) At least this one was made by a competent frame maker with new materials, rather than two rusty hulks from the junkyard, as is the case with most tall bikes. The fact that someone would take the time to build a pursuit tall bike, “just because,” is what makes me smile when I see that picture.

bah. there is not enough substancial evidence to prove a tall bike is neither safe, nor unsafe to any degree.  as a rider of the tall bike, i have actually found vehicles see you better and give you more space on a tall bike, whereas on a regular bike i am not as seen as well.  a truck turning right hit my buddy on a tall bike, one of the small instances where a driver can’t see because of idiocy, and he actually didn’t even fall off the bike - it just bent his front tire.  if you get t-boned on a regular bike, the impact is your body - on a tall bike the impact is on your frame.  no studies have been done on this - but to claim the lack of safety is to simply not try to understand something different.
