can imagine it having some limited application in physiotherapy - but as a regular bike it's fundamentally stupid. at first i thought the guy was weaving to generate momentum like one of those snakeboard things, but he's just trying not to fall over with half of a mcdonald's sign strapped to his back.

looks like fun; i'd try it if i was not afraid of some guy beating me up and stealing my lunch money.

I thought this thread was about Geoff's kids.

lol I saw that earlier today on a co-worker's monitor and I couldn't stop myself from pausing and saying "what the fuck?"

There's no way in hell a pregnant woman, a fat pig or even an asthmatic will ride that thing, not when all their weight is resting on their chest.

the laydown bike is the only alternative I will accept to a regular cycle. Anything else is trying too hard.

Well, for people with a physical disability this is quite acceptable as well:

a hand-trike is fine, only if the physical disability is in your legs

[seremtan]

i knew you'd turn up with your lemons

[Doombrain]

You rate them that much? Bet you enjoy the cycle show as well.

[plained]

wow slinged up into on that thing seems weird but still i see where they were going with it


the head beside the biggest metal piece on the big lever

ow my head, someone hit the thing ow my head, whoops i crashed ow my head, i decided to change the "bike?" to the other side of my head and spacked out ow my head

i see alot alot of ow my head there

*edit

does my liking recumbents threaten you in some way?

also, what cycle show?

[losCHUNK]

that's more of a slouch ?, looks like it'd take some getting used to. Think the direction in which you pedal is enough to put you off ?, when you're knackered you cant stand and kinda slump from side to side ?, using your body weight

[seremtan]

if only there was somewhere you could sit down when you're tired...

[losCHUNK]

like the gutter ?, wouldn't you be waisting energy keeping your legs horizontal n all ?

[seremtan]

lol wut

i think you need to do some more research there, chunkee boy

[GONNAFISTYA]

This thread turned really fucking stupid the instant Douchebrain showed up.

[losCHUNK]

lol wut

i think you need to do some more research there, chunkee boy

well you're sat on your arse and peddling in front of you ?, you seen those films where they keep their legs elevated to prove themselves (fuck yea) ?, I think they done it in Top Gun. It just looks a pain in the arse to live with

nope, just not sure about the centre of balance. To me they don't look that safe.
Whats it like in traffic with being so low? There's a few knocking about in the chilterns, can't say i've ever been pasted by one.

The cycle show, itv3 or 4. terrible london wanker based show about coffee drinking cunts with black rimmed glasses with no lenses in.
