A new cycle? Couldn't see that one on the xntrick pages. Is it just an
odd looking upright tadpole trike, or are there some more joints there
that I haven't noticed?

It's not one of mine, but all the wheels are eccentric - so it goes up
and down and side to side as you ride it!

Plus it knackers you out after half a mile. Or rather it had that effect on
Darth Stuart...

I think the easiest way to ride it is to lift one front wheel clear of the
ground.

That's what I'd end up with if I ever tried wheel building.

It lives at Cyclemagic in Leicester (http://www.cyclemagic.org.uk/)
and will no doubt be seen at the Ride Leicester event that is being
planned for next May.
