This is the Joby GorillaBike, a prop which shows such dedication to tomfoolery that we had no choice but to show it to you. Also, it combines two of our favorite subjects: bikes and cameras.
The bike, constructed to both decorate Joby’s PMA 2010 show stand and to make people smile, replaces the stiff and sturdy tubes of the frame with Joby’s metal ball-and-socket tripod legs. And to show off the bendy flexibility of the material, it is also curved into a fetching drop-handlebar design. It’s jokey, but we guess that Joby was also making a point about the uncanny strength of the top-end flexi-pods. Still, there’s no way you’d convince me to take this freak-bike out for a spin.
The picture was snapped at PMA by Eric Reagan, a writer at one of out favorite photo-blogs, Photography Bay. We have just one note for Joby: tighten that chain. It’s just not safe!
