Default Wacky bikes

I am going to separate this topic from it’s sister topic “Funny Pictures Thread” to be more specifically about strange, funny or just ultra-bizarre bikes you have seen (not necessarily just Googled) and less about puppies and kitties etc.

^ True, wacky is in the eye of the beholder.


P.S. anyone is welcome to add pics to this thread (of wackiness of course).

I think the 2nd pic is a bike for a disabled person, look close, you can see his/her arms clutched up close, I am thinking either MS or Muscular Dystrophy or some other sort of disease that chains them to a wheel chair. I for one think it is a great idea to cage a bike like that for a loved one in a wheel chair, lets them get into the ride also. (not griping at you guys, just my thoughts )

I checked into that, as if it were there is no reason to make light of it. However the inventor made no mention of that (although a good idea). Apparently it is just for paranoid wives.
Inventor's site:

But...that doesn't explain this one.

I like it. I'd have to add a few more bars. Then I could carry hitch-hikers...

I'm not sure anything can explain that one. When you do a wheelie and it turns into a looptie?

NOT! There are a few manufacturers experimenting with these prototype models derived from Segway technology. Bombardier has one known as the Embrio.

You'd have to ask the owner....but I think he died in the wreck.
