That chain tensioner screams otherwise.

is this bike laterally stiff yet vertically compliant? i'm going to require a bike that will give me all of it.

Pretty cool but there is no way that this is more practical than a regular bike

The bike doesn't even matter. That dude looks totally awesome.

Looks flexy.

Needs more flying squirrel

Even a flying squirrel can't fix that.

Two though...

I prefer a swing bike

^^^

That is plain nuts.

I love swing bikes i always see them at may day.

eww bare canti bosses, and wtf, no brakes at all?

Interesting. But can you ride it in a *straight* line?

Who needs brakes, you aren't actually supposed to ride it.

I see, it works like those little toys made up of string and segments of wood/plastic, then when you press the button it collapses. ?

Like this kind of:

Yes. They really take no time at all to get used to, but it's more fun to ride all zig-zag like

so... apparently, its designed like that so you can lock the frame, and both wheels to itself. they dont explicitly say, but it looks like you still need one lock. for the extra price the bike will undoubtedly cost, i could just buy another damn lock, or get a cable, etc etc, and get to keep a bike i'd actually like, to boot.

"solving" a problem where there wasn't one? engineering ************.
fail.

I would........................ not ride it.

It would totalllllllllly ruin my street cred.

You can't ride it if you want to, unless you have the same hair cut and the matchy matchy shoes that the dude is rocking.
