check this one out:

circus bike (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Vintage-Pre-War-Circus-Bicycle_W0QQitemZ6551893766QQcategoryZ69825QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)

This is a 1920's Circus Bicycle, to operate it you just move your weight up and down on the seat which in turn drives the rear wheel

Funny, my uncle had a bike like that. I haven't talked to him in some time. Last I heard he was allluding law enforcement by traveling about and doing shows for children.
