I think it was @CarlP that told you about it, I was looking at it separately, then lost track of time. You might have a bidding war if you sell.

Yes it was me.

The riding position is absolutely atrocious, the angle that the feet are placed on the pedals throws your main body weight forward onto the handlebars.
This will result in muscular skeletal disorders in the shoulders, wrists and upper back. And there's a good chance of lower back problems as a result of trying to sit more upright. The very least you'll get "pins and needles" in your hands.

If the video was supposed to sell it - it didn't. It succeeded in making the bike look unstable unless you happen to be a trick cyclist in a circus. Maybe I've become 'institutionalised' but I'll stick with a chain. I quite like my bike as it is.

The lady riding it in the video had her shoulders folded back. Atrocious riding position. Some times there's a good reason something hasn't already come to market...

Personally, I think the "safety bicycle" design from 1885 has stood the test of time, and gimmicks like these will not.

I have watched the video, and I am out.

I have still not forgiven you for beating me to that, I am also waiting for you to sell it.

Oi! I'm first in line for that bike.

Watch out or someone will cut out your apostrophe and then you'll be singing like a canary too.

I think we should start calling them apo'strophes!

Why do people bother? Well, it seems someone has an answer ....

I could only ride it stark b***** naked because of the weight limit, and the Magistrate told me if I did it again I'd be thrown out of the Lodge.
