A Dicycle????

[Night Train]

I was Googling recumbent bike images and found this.

I wonder what happens in an emergency stop!

I must have one

Imagine accidentally crashing into a concrete bollard or something else low enough in the middle of the road.....

Actually, is that one of the long lost wheelsets from a Brunell Broad Gauge loco??

Bet it's a bugger changing a flat...

How do you fit panniers?

I suspect that isn't a problem, it'll have solid tyres....

I think an emergency stop could be fun. Stop, and then do a couple of loops!

Panniers... Well, we can't see the seat, but if it has a metal frame, I suspect some sort of rack could be fitted under the rider's back, like any recumbent. It's just a matter of balancing the weight out so you hang level.

On the plus side, imagine the room you'd get on the road! And it's the ultimate picnic vehicle, complete with singing sun lounger!

Blimey, with one wheel so much smaller than the other it will just go round and round in circles.

Imagine on a steep slope trying to get off it to open a gate... and if a car caught the edge of a wheel you'd be all over the place- could lose an arm through those spokes...

I'm sorry, I've come over all sensible, I do apologise!

Yeah, you'd have to curb the urge to indicate....

I wouldn't want to true the wheels on that.
