Maybe you've seen of these things. Looks fun, but would surely be a quick way for me to end up under a bus.

can't see any point in that?

Surely they have complicated the steering forcing people to relearn how to ride therefore not simplified.

doesn't look so daft once you realise you can lock the rear wheel straight. And guess it must be coaster brake at the rear.

You have to asume that the rider shown is skilled in riding it and doing his best to show the thing off. So how come I don't get it?
Im out

It must have taken a monumental quantity of time, thought and effort to come up with something even less useful than a BMX.

Was mildly impressed for 5 secs then after the umpteenth time of demonstrating the rear wheel steer I turned it off! Also, he's clearly a pussy as he walked down the stairs if he had any skillzz he would have bunny hopped his way down 😉

Just because it doesn't have an obvious and immediate utility doesn't mean it has no future.

Rollerblades and unicycles seem points in hand...

Well there's a solution looking for a problem.

As above, I dunno about simplified - it looks complicated to me!

The problem cycling has is that lots of young wannabe entrepreneurs and engineers are attracted to it, but typical bikes are already just about as simple and elegant as you can get. So they become frustrated trying to make businesses redesigning them and come out with crap like this.

It is entertaining though 🙂
