Will this bike finally bring all the advantages of recumbents to luddite upright riders? Honestly this thing just seems like the perfect design, it's too bad that the UCI will hold it down, because if the market were determined by the best designs everyone would be on one of these by next year. It's called the Bird of Prey and yes, I already have mine on order and will report on it when I receive it.

You retard. I can just see you post thread after thread on how amazing and fun it is to ride, yet behind the screen you're cursing at it while it sits in a dark corner, regretting your purchase.
We all laugh at your misfortune.

White nerd, anything I've never used is a cycling industry conspiracy to Fred Fred Fred, gamer lonely geeks, I'm poor and I hate you Chengdu ching-chong yellow rat-men. Chankid, do you even know about stack exchange? Here is an article that loosely ties in with the general target of my anger at this particular moment.

To be fair, if you go to his ancient website you will see that this picture is taken after a road time trial (you can see the tape roping off the roadway strung up). He wasn't actually riding on the path.

Making your life's work about creating an awkward bicycle might make one a tool bag though - at least to his family

more consistent shifting, you don't need to change housings anywhere near as often, if ever.

What a retarded bike. Lets use your head as the impact section. Hey, I got an idea, why not put the feet and crank forward to support to the impact in case of an accident instead of your precious head. While we're at it, we'll put you in an ergonomic seat eliminating all pressure points on your body. Maybe handlebars to the side for extra comfort and cockpit like steering or handlebars above you for extra aerodynamic efficiency, and lets add a streamliner fairing up front with attachable tent clothing for extra weather protection when it's raining. hmm, what you get is pic related
