lol! good point, i hadn't noticed that silly boxy shaped seat. no way the designer could be a serious cyclist.<br />

i of course wouldn't touch anything with so many non-standard parts. anything breaks and you're pretty much screwed.<br />

I'm sure you could remove the wheels and get them into a big lockable pile.<br/>
<br/>
But notice the saddle. It looks a bit unforgiving. You would let an architect/engineer design your house, your car, perhaps even your furniture but never your shoes or your saddle - true intimate, specialty items that don't do well with T-squares or rulers.<br/>

I love it. I also like the fact that it climbs straight up walls. Perhaps we can just park them that way.<br />
<br />
And with the rolling resistance, what a great exercise bike.<br />

Ravissent! Looks like the perfect bike for arc-à-techies.<br />

Where do these things come from? And where do they end up?<br />

Likely questions:<br />
<br />
From recumbent riders:"How do I get better at climbing without attaining insane spinning levels?"<br />
<br />
From sensitive sunbathers: "How do I avoid the lighter forehead color of cyclists?"<br />
<br />
From mathematicians: "Does cycling have an inverse function?"<br />
<br />
From Dante Alighieri: "How does one make a quicker (cyclists read aero) decent into Hell and then get the hell out?"<br />

follow up question from the Sommo Poeta: "I ride a nine-speed cassette, one for each circle of hell. I hear that there is a Campy 11-speed cassette. Is this entirely necessary?"<br />
<br />
Certainly these questions have been plaguing our cultural consciousness so long that we tend to forget they are even there.<br />
