Take a look at this (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/6375259.stm). Weird!

I saw this on the BBC a few minutes ago. I think it's genius. It'll never get anywhere, but when you build something that insane it can only be to have fun!

I foresee one problem with that thing, you are going to be falling backwards a lot. It's fine falling forwards on it or with a normal bicycle but when you fall backwards you are going get really hurt as it would be very hard to push your arms/hands out to cushion your fall.

Cracked skull is not pretty...

I haven't seen him in a while. He used to cycle a different bike around Dublin a lot.

I asked him why once, and he said 'There's no point in making something that's the same as everything else'.
