It's a neat-looking concept Corbin Dunn came up with, as far as cycling death-traps go. But in this economy, it's also practical for couples who'd rather not splurge on extravagances like a second wheel. UPDATED: Now with instructions and video! More » -

Grace Electric Bike Is Part Motorcycle, Part Race Car and Part Fighter Jet
There are plenty of electric bike designs out there, but few (possibly none) can compare to the Grace E-bike. Its CNC-aluminum frame is fitted with eurofighter and Formula One parts, and it has a top speed of 40 mph. More » -

Montague Paratrooper Tactical Folding Bike Can Survive 1000-Foot Jumps
Can your mountain bike survive this 1000-foot jump? Mine can't. In fact, I don't even have a mountain bike. Much less one that is used by the US Marines, folds, and looks as badass as the Montague Paratrooper Tactical Bike. More » -

See Saw Bicycle: Crashing is Only One of the Ways It Can Kill You
Once again, someone has taken absurd and dangerous bicycle design to another preposterous level.

Di-Cycle: A Bike That Travels Over Land and Water
Right off the bat the Di-Cycle design is eye-catching. Imagine the looks you would get pedaling this down the road, smashing into cars and bumping old ladies off the sidewalk. Now imagine the looks you would get when you turn sharply toward the neighborhood pool, ride in and mow down all of the swimmers flailing around in the water trying desperately to escape. Apparently that pleasant dream is possible with this bizarre looking contraption. Unfortunately, you are going to have to rein in your bicycle blood lust for now. The Di-Cycle is only in the design phase at the moment. [Core 77 via ffffound via Likecool via Ubergizmo]
