20 Very Strange Bicycles (including some weird unicycles & recumbents)

[javawizard]

I've compiled a photo list of 20 of the weirdest bicycles, with links
to their respective websites. I hope you find it as interesting as I
did! It's at www.odd-bikes.com - Jeff

Another possible nominee: the rowbike
http://www.rowbike.com/
This is a bicycle powered by a rowing machine mechanism. I saw one of these
at the L.A.T.E. ride in Chicago a few years ago.

How could you leave out the Monocycle?

There's a guy who rides(?) one in Central Park. I don't know if I
think it's totally ridiculous or kind of cool to row on land.

What's worse, those long roller skates and poles that people use to
train for cross country skiing during the summer, or a rowbike?

My neighbour (around the block) has a rowbike among other strange
bikes. Google bikeforest.

Technically, you are correct although often we refer to pedal powered
vehicles in general. We don't leave out trikes and quad just because they
have more wheels. He has that seven person bike on his site which has more
than two wheels. I think that the monocycle fits.

Besides, there are some that have two wheels. The second wheel is smaller
and inside the big wheel. You pedal to turn the second wheel and the second
wheel drives the big wheel.

Whatever they are, they are pretty cool.

It was tongue and cheek!

Thanks for the site. I've seen the Bilenky Tandem in action and they
actually seem to make sense, because both riders have a good view of
the road.

The worst bike in the site is the tridem, which is illegal to ride in
35 states.
