the bike, not the dude.

So I am approaching the brooklyn bridge this am and am right behind an older guy on a very upright bike. I think nothing of it until I notice he has no seatpost - instead he has two thin seattubes connected directly to the back end of his saddle. as I get closer, I realize the sadlle is strung like a hammock and the bike has this multitude of narrow tubes going in strange directions. kinda reminded me of a big giant moulton. and it had a nexus internal hub and front dynamo. cool!

I can't help but slow to ask him. he is more than happy to tell me it's a current production model Dursley-Pederson. the guy who builds them now is in denmark, but I guess you can order one. I don't know how I can resist, but I also don't know how to explain it to my wife . . ..
