advertisement? on yer bike! |
|
|
reensure, seriously, what evening class have you been taking lately? |
|
|
So you invented the sidesaddle. Yay. Come here and let me slap you [sideways]. |
|
|
hmmm, you have just got rather obscure.of course obscure is lovely.. kinda soul mate stuff! |
|

Yeah, I have to agree that this is baked; but still - good work, [sideways]! Not sure how practical your bike would be, but it certainly looks like fun. The riding position looks a little unnatural, though (better to face the way you're going), but if, as I secretly hope, working the pedals in a backwards makes the bike go in the other direction, then it would make perfect sense. The two-handed steering mechanism must make for a pretty tight turning circle. |

Have you considered a tandem version, with the riders seated back-to-back? Between the two of you you'd have a 360 degree view of where you were going. Steering could be a bit of a battle of wills, though. |
|
|
"The Sidecycle" might be a better name. |
|
|
Why not have the rider facing forward and have the wheels pointing sideways? |
|
|
What is the point of this? It's like trying to sell me a mirror so I can see the screen on my monitor when I'm looking away from it. |
|
|
At least it would be aerodynamic. Forgot to mention easy to see where you're going too. geez. |
|
|
interesting, but why the hell? I ave to go in the direction of "you're loco" |
|
|
From what I can see, if you steer more than a few degrees with the driven wheel, your chain comes off! Therefore I think this really is half-baked, even though a prototype has been built. |
