Double Bike Takes You on a Supremely Ridiculous Ride
By the looks of things, this double-wheeled bike concept can easily stand alongside gems like the 12-foot tall bicycle, face to face tandem bicycle and the running bicycle in terms of sheer stupidity and pointless danger. Since there is no chain attached to the lower wheels, I can only assume that the upper wheel is generating all the momentum—transferring the energy like a set of gears (although, I can’t imagine that would be very efficient—and you would have to pedal backwards). At any rate, you would have time to think about how stupid this all is as you hit a pebble in the road and fall to your untimely death. [My Confined Space via Coolbuzz]

There’s a simple solution to the problem of having to pedal backwards – just make it a triple bike!
Ride a bike, you geese. I would argue you’re safer on one of these than in your mate’s car while he’s texting. There have been no major design changes to bikes in a hundred years, save for the derailleur, yet you continue to fork out tens of thousands for the latest ‘mod cons’ in cars, which, like most people, get heavier every year. The bike is the ultimate, trans-centennarial, trans-continental, ‘freedom machine’ gadget. Show some fscking respect. :D
indeed. tall bikes really aren’t much different to regular bicycles. the tricky part it climbing up but once you’ve got that, manuveuring it is simple. in fact i would go as far to say this bicycle would be safer to ride. being so much higher up than a regular bike you become more visible plus the fact that it’s a peculiar sight will contribute to you being seen by motorist.
