Here's a funny bike we spotted in London. I think the steering wheel came off a child's toy. I was staring at the bike and my father didn't even notice the steering wheel, he was so impressed by the lock!

Nice!
I've seen a steering wheel on a bike before, but not with the brake levers and bell attached!

That is a cool lock- I wonder if that's an antique of some kind, or if you could buy a lock like that in a lot of British hardware stores.
I think this relic once belonged to the designer of the Lincoln cent. Victor David Brenner (VDB) once lived in New York.
I know this bike, I've met the chap who rides it and have photographed it and documented it here:

He told me the wheel was rescued from an old (vintage-era) Formula-1 race car.
Interesting hack, I have seen steering wheels on bikes over the years, primarily on custom bikes like Low Riders I seem to recall using my allowance to buy a steering wheel from a junkyard many, many, many years ago to customize my Western Flyer.

Pretty great bike, although steering wheels on bikes aren't common for a reason! An accident in the works. That said the bike makes a nice statement as a whole.
Really funny, this cyclist want to enjoy riding with the handle of a ship.. :)
