Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Why would the UCI care? Or are you being sarcastic?

I forgot. Sarcasm and BF don't go together. Jesus.

Now the concept bike does seem cool, though.

Considering the UCI cares about how long your socks are (must be shorter than the midpoint between your knee and ankle) I'd say the OP was spot on with his joke. People just like to be combatitive on here for no reason.

The UCI already has rules in place stating that you can only race a double triangle bike. This falls outside those rules, so the UCI probably doesn't care.

Tri-geeks will love it. The UCI doesn't care about the Tri-geeks and their bikes.

+1. This has driven me away from the forums a couple times. Not sure why I keep coming back sometimes. Guys he was joking around - slow your roll.

Bike looks cool - don't see a chain. Is it a working model?

shaft driven. I assume mostly for cool design looks and not for practicality.

I wish the UCI could prevent design students from "reinventing the bicycle".

The UCI would care about this bike if they were competitive
That thing looks like it costs a fortune

No aerobars, no adjustability, handlebars higher than saddle.

Looks like everything triathletes don't want in a bike.

I'm really curious what having the headset between your knees, does to the handling.
