The seat is attached to the diamond frame bicycle by the seat post. It wraps around the back of the rider constraining the posture to the 'superman' position conventionally used with 'aerobars'. A third wheel dorsally located allows the bicycle to be rotated ninety and forty-five degrees to a frontwheel drive recumbent cycle.

What I'm trying to figure out is: How does he steer?
-- MechE, Apr 26 2013


It's not a great idea. I could steer it like a beast but those like real people I know would not be able to ride it and by being disabled in this way would reach the conclusion that the design is flawed. That's why I live in isolation from others.

Hapsburg chin and combined skull/crumple zone, by the look of it.

Also, his left arm is contorted weirdly so it disappears behind his right leg.

Once again, bone for posting in Other: General. It's just lazy and inconsiderate. If you can't be arsed to follow protocol around here, why should anyone waste any time considering your idea? Do you think you're special?
