Sideways Bike

Sideways Bike. Sideways? The inventor explains:

"Introducing a new bicycle invention by myself, Michael Killian. This bicycle is ridden forward and is balanced by using human Left to Right balance. This bicycle uses independent (non linked) Front and Rear steering. The ride is very wavy sort of like skiing with a capacity to drift to the right or left. The front and rear steering makes the bike much more maneuverable than a single steer bike. Your hands are by your side and you don't exert a lot of pull on the steering. Its sort of like riding a horse where you cannot lean on the reins but all body movements come out of your seat and saddle. The saddle is necessarily a unicycle saddle (You would slip forward off a regular bike saddle)."

Given my advanced age and clearly retarded sense of balance, I don't know if I personally would want to even try to ride such a bike. But I do know that it is precisely the Sideways Bike is a gift - precisely the kind of innovation that we need to once again invite play, playfulness, and the desire to go on.



Thanks for the find, Presurfer.
