I tried many things such as blobs, cylinders, and meshes, but the joints
got very ugly with blobs where there were three or four intersecting
cylinders all starting from slightly different places.  If you look by the
pedals on a bike, there are about five tubes that all affect each other but
start from different spots.  There are also a couple of bent tubes on a
bike such as the fork and the spot in the back where the down tubes
diverge.  Those aren't possible with blobs.
