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

i like how the specialized "future bikes" look the best.

i still like old fashioned laced wheels spokes and all 🙂

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.

The same may have been said 75 years ago.

I hope they don't produce those.... So stupid

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.
