Bear Circus Bike Built By Austin Shop For Shrine
Russell Godfredson of R and F Bike and Mower Service built a custom bicycle for a Shrine Circus bear after director Walter Naghts sought a durable stage bike. The 15 inch seat pedal distance suits the bear, no brakes, direct drive, and nylon tires rated for 250 pounds. Godfredson, who runs the business with his family, has a long history of custom builds and antique restorations and will join local Fourth of July parades with his clan.
