I think I must be missing the point of that big time.

Does it do anything that a 'normal' bike doesn't?

Looks like it was made out of bits of old filing cabinets that Orange didn't use.

Pffffffft, pub bike? I bet it can't power you along itself AND find its way to your door/bed/hallway like the mighty beer scooter. No pictures to post I'm afraid: it's a mythical chariot, and even though I've ridden it myself many a time, I can't remember what it looks like...

I love the way they call it a monocoque when it isn't. Its a space frame surely. 3 pieces in a triangle. A monocoque is a single large structure that holds all the periferals like a modern car body shell
