pete lindeman just sent me a link.  i don't know quite what to say about it.  chris's post earlier today clearly shows that there are misunderstandings between those who consider themselves commuters and those who consider themselves racers.  but the guy who designed this thing?  i think our misunderstandings of each other pale in comparison to this misunderstanding of how bicycles are supposed to work.

link is here

check it.  then check it again.  my top three list of things which leave me baffled.

3) the steering linkage is particularly cryptic.  are both mtb-style bars fixed in place? do both people need to turn in tandem if you'll pardon the pun?

2) the pedal system.  it looks like a bit and brace type system.  i have to assume it's a semi-normal bottom bracket, but if it's a one piece crank, i have to assume it was difficult to get in there.

1) the set post/mount.  either your weight is going to be directly over the bottom bracket or your leg is going to hit that damn pipe affixing the seatpost holder to the frame.  hilarity would ensue.

post your own hit parade in the comments.  pete is, incidentally, leading the year so far with the mostest and the bestest links to weird cycling phenomenon

update: who thinks they have the skill to ride solo on that bike?  i mean, on one saddle with no one and nothing on the other side?
