Bikes of the Future

If bikes end looking like that, I'm taking up jogging.

The one below looks like something a Dr. Suess character would ride.

Any fool can draw two circles and then squiggle between them. They all display a considerable lack of understanding of bicycles.

Suppose people would buy them though, because they're different. Way, people buy them Chopper things even though they're fantastically unstable.

Where do I apply to become a photographer for PETA ?

I can imagine that there will be a broader acceptance of belt drive and shaft drive bicycles with gearing in the hubs, and maybe expanded use of disc brakes on road bikes. I cannot imagine that the bikes shown on that link will become reality.

If I had to guess, I would think these were dreamed up by nerds / geeks... I have been working as a software engineer for the past 18 years, and have known enough geeky guys to think that is what would appeal to some of my more eclectic colleaugues.
