MAKE Discovers SCUL

The Subversive Choppers' Urban Legion (a.k.a. SCUL) has been on the Boston radar for a couple of years anyhow. Today MAKE blog, the blog behind the incredibly hot DIY magazine, has uncovered the (mostly) Cambridge/Somerville/Allston wonderment that is the SCUL brand of modified bicycles. If you haven't seen one of their tall bikes, choppers, or other tricked out two-wheeled vehicles you haven't been paying enough attention to your surroundings when walking the streets of Boston. The outrageous changes they've made to the average bicycle are even more noticeable than South End Sara's new Duck Boat markings. MAKE uncovered a Flickr set of SCUL modifications and reported their wonderment. It's unclear if they've had a chance to view Operation SuperPosi, the SCUL movie that screened at Coolidge Corner Theatre last summer. Grab your tall-bike or mod 'em if you got 'em and roll on over to enter your latest creation in the contest MAKE is running – post your bike-mod pic in their Flickr pool and they've promised to send the best of the best a little something something from their swag shop.
