At least it's a fixie.  Now if it only came in a folding version.  And where's his helmet???  Or chain-mail jockstrap?????  Or super hero cape????

As an incomplete Idiot thank you for presenting me with a real chance at completion.

Perhaps you can use this contraption on the next naked ride! :D

Not sure why, but it seems a little more erotic every time someone posts it.

Thank god it has disc brakes!  And would, formally, this be considered a fixie, since his legs cannot change gears?

You love running but your knees can't take it anymore....

it would be amusing doing this naked.  get enough speed for a steady roll, flail your legs around, flopping all over the place.

this does have a certain wilbur and orville wright sensibility. Just attach some davinci-esque skeletal winged contraption to the top of the arc, and you have zee zumwaltflugzeug. Embelish that with some brass and leather, and you'll be the hit at any steampunk party...

Wait I'm thinking of making a plane out of it for next years FlugTag!

1817; Some of the first bicycle designs; I would consider my self an "idiot" to ride that instead of a horse. such of pain in between the legs, must to be intolerable. It seems to me that wooden horse with wheels is made for courtesans looking to have a pleasant time. However, my mind can not compliant this may be a push to design something that will ensure a cheap, clean, fun and reliable form of transportation.  

I am an idiot for not experimenting, exploring and riding...

Hmmm. Actually the reason I started biking was that my husband would stop annoying me that I need to run

It would probably be a pretty fun motorized design to fly around the streets suspended and incredibly aerodynamic. But as a bike there is no reason to tamper with the most efficient machine created by man.

Also the fact that there are no pedals and you have to kick and run to start going, it is really just a expensive, funny looking one of these...
