ThisWay recumbent concept

[mickle]

I know this isn't new but I recently stumbled across it again and I think its gorgeous.

There are so many bicycle concepts churned out every year - and so many of them are frecking awful - that to find one which (1) looks good and (2) would probably function is a real pleasure.

Just a shame about the colour..

You have a point there Mickle, this does look better than a lot of concept bikes. It looks a bit long in the wheelbase so could be a bit unwealdy when riding, but it is a workable idea. I would go for a nice blue, or maybe red as an alternative colour.

Quite similar to the Sinclair X1...

Except it's going in the other direction.

From the Sinclair blurb:

'Front and rear disc brakes provide 100% stopping power'.


Wow, what an innovation.

That should be really enjoyable to ride in a cross wind

Wow, what an innovation.

The two tenets of advertising: sell 'em something they already have, and sell 'em something they didn't even know they needed....

It makes me want to vomit.

That's what they said about the Rover Roger.

Yeah, and what a hideous new fangled machine that was. It'll never catch on.

Meh!

Just thinking that. A trike version with skinnier wheels could maybe help?

Colour wise, it looks like it's been dipped in a large, used baby nappy receptical.
