Some interesting bike concepts
Wytze van Mansum's concept portfolio has several interesting bike and bike-related design ideas, including an unusual drive train for folding bikes (scroll halfway down) and the Cannondale Dutchess (scroll to the bottom), a recently-built prototype the company commissioned.

Interesting drive train. The Dutchess reminds me a bit of the Electra line of bikes. Nice.

Interesting indeed! I'd like to try one of those, should they ever build it. It could be very lightweight.
The recumbent looks pretty cool as well... though the seat on it is a little on the insubstantial side!
