Weird Bikes!

I couldn't help not to laugh out loud when I saw these weird alterations to some inventions!

I can't believe how people come up with these bizarre ideas!

For starters... an organization called Bike Forest that states on it's website that it aims for promoting Bicycles and other human powered vehicles as means of transportation.. Well we all agree that it's better for the environment not to pollute, and excercise is good for our health.. and I'm a supporter of such causes to some extent..

But what really caught my attention was these 3 bikes...

The first is the Couch Bike, Where two "bikers" sit on a couch and pedal, only one of them gets to steer.. and it has space at the back for your stuff.. so don't worry if you're going grocery shopping..

The Second, is the the Hula Bike, which "uses an eccentrically laced rear wheel. Because the hub is offset from the centre of the rim, the bike can be propelled by hopping up and down with the right rhythm. You may not get far on the Hula bike, but you'll have fun trying."

You can watch a video on how it works on it's page

The Third one.. and my favorite! is the Treadmill Bike...

Ok, how do you promote walking or jogging? Add wheels to it..

You may ask, But you can walk like other normal people!? but this invention is not just walking.. the treadmill is tilted upwards so it gives you more results than walking.. and, you get clean shoes since you're only stepping on the treadmill.. so don't worry about stepping on a chewing gum.

You can watch a video of the Treadmill Bike on it's page

I really Loved your projects, Bicycle Forest. But I can't imagine myself on one of them.. and I know for a fact that they are real head turners especially on Jumeirah Beach Road or Safa Park...
