This is outrageously cool. There's even a video, which shows this contraption in action. It's toward the end, but you won't want to fast-forward through all the crazy bikes that appear beforehand.
Erin McKean pointed this out (@FakeErinMckean); it's on the Modern Mechanix blog and comes from a 1939 issue of Popular Science magazine.
I love to read a old fashion magazines and stories. I think that's pretty cool.

Really cool and amazing!I wonder how would it feel to sew in a bike.I think after they finished sewing,they are also selling it on the streets.
