Peculiar Pedal-Powered Designs
References: designboom
Design inventions are always good fun to keep up with. These unusual bike designs caught my eye at Designboom. How amazing must it be to bike down the slope on a snowy mountain top on a ski-bike, for instance?
Or what about a four-seater ‘dog sledge’ bike? Now there is a robust design for the whole family.
My favorite strange bike in this catalog, however, is the summer’s day couch-bike. The people in this picture look so wonderfully happy while unifying activity with recreation. I guess you can only applaud initiatives that serve to activate the public. So long, couch potatoes!
