Reader Ian wrote to us yesterday with a hack he ran into in Brooklyn.
This isn’t my hack, but I saw it on Cortelyou Road in Brooklyn last night. The owner removed his front wheel and hacked on a shopping cart (with souped up rear tires). I assume he steers by holding the cart’s handlebar, since the bike’s handlebars look uncomfortably close to the back of the cart. But then how does he brake?
It reminds me of a similar hack of a shopping cart that we posted way back on April 21st, 2008. You can check out more pictures from Ian in his Flickr photostream.

Looks like the rear brake lever is attached to the right of the shopping cart handle to me!
Pretty sweet hack job!
