Re: Who Rides Swing Bikes?
Whats the point? Looks like something a clown would ride in a circus.

Re: Who Rides Swing Bikes?
They look kinda silly... I mean, what's the point? I don't understand why someone would need an articulating joint.

Re: Who Rides Swing Bikes?
Besides taking sharp corners at low speed, I cannot see a reason to ride one either. Actually it looks like it could be dangerous to ride one of these at high speed.

Re: Who Rides Swing Bikes?
Wow they look awesome, I would never have thought to have put a pivot there... Wouldn't like to more then 10mph on one though.
