See Saw Bicycle: Crashing is Only One of the Ways It Can Kill You

Sean Fallon — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 16:15:00 EST

Once again, someone has taken absurd and dangerous bicycle design to another preposterous level. Thankfully, the See Saw bike is only in the prototype phase because if you didn't flat out crash and burn trying to ride it (with someone of equal weight), you would surely go brain dead repeatedly head-butting your partner.

Double Bike Takes You on a Supremely Ridiculous Ride

Sean Fallon — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 13:00:00 EST

By the looks of things, this double-wheeled bike concept can easily stand alongside gems like the 12-foot tall bicycle, face to face tandem bicycle and the running bicycle in terms of sheer stupidity and pointless danger. Since there is no chain attached to the lower wheels, I can only assume that the upper wheel is generating all the momentum—transferring the energy like a set of gears (although, I can't imagine that would be very efficient—and you would have to pedal backwards). At any rate, you would have time to think about how stupid this all is as you hit a pebble in the road and fall to your untimely death. [My Confined Space via Coolbuzz]

The Running-Powered Bike is Pure Ludicrousness

Oh… oh my. This is a running-powered bicycle (although technically, it's a tricycle, which gives it even less dignity). There are no pedals; instead, you run with the seat jammed up in your crotch and hop on the foot holds when you get enough speed going to coast. It is amazingly ridiculous, and it only gets funnier when you see the video of some dude running on it with, as I said, the seat jammed up in his crotch.

Woz's Online Segway Polo Match to Rival Super Bowl's Hype, Viewership

Adam Frucci — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 11:46:44 EST

Get ready for an event of epically nerdy proportions. It's a Segway polo match… being broadcast live on the internet… featuring Woz. The only way this thing could get more nerdy would be if they took a Dungeons and Dragons break at halftime. Oh, and if instead of drinking Gatorade were breastfed by their mothers. Mark your calendars and place your bets! The sporting event of the century goes down on Sunday, December 16 at 1 p.m. EST! [The Digital Lifestyle]
