Half-bike?

[jon-nyc]

Anyone seen one of these in the wild?

Looks like fun, not that I’d give up my road bike for one. But it would be fun to try.

Higher center of gravity.

Looks simpy.

For those wanting a stand up/running motion on wheels, I know a number of folks with an Elliptigo They seem like they'd be able to handle different terrain/elevation than the half bike. (but they are a bit pricey)

Well, they won’t cut off blood flow to your naughty bits.

Let’s take a design that has withstood 200 years of use and make it worse

I have never seen either of those types of bikes. They look interesting.

How do you break with those things? Wouldn't a hard break throw you off?

Looks like you can get similar exercise benefits by riding a regular bicycle standing. :man-shrugging:

Man tough crowd. I didn’t say a thing about exercise benefits and I wouldn’t trade my road bike for it.

Just that it would be fun to take it for a spin down lake shore drive and back some crisp afternoon.

[Mik]

It would. I liked the way it leaned.

Funnily enough I just saw one in use near London. My son said ‘what was that stupid looking thing?’
