A pic of an insane bike posted on Mastodon as a personality litmus test.

@MLE_online@social.afront.org best I can do myself is a bike with crazy-bars....
I should out those back on that bike actually, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[mle_online@social.afront.org]

@rachel what kind of crazy handlebars?!

[ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org]

@MLE_online @rachel

Unicycle, but a bicycle? 🤪

[furicle@mastodon.social]

@MLE_online yep, that qualifies I guess

I have to say that magical rim pulley with no visible means of attachment seems fake, and it looks like a four stroke to me, and surely that clutch wouldn't do anything with a Bungie cord for tension, but full marks for vision

@MLE_online @fredy where bike

@ai6yr @MLE_online @rachel Centralized suspension. Interesting design.

[ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org]

@Thumptastic3 @MLE_online @rachel Tricycle?

[ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org]

@Thumptastic3 @MLE_online @rachel I like this, it has an umbrella. And it floats.

" B63H16/12 - Other apparatus for converting muscle power into propulsive effort using hand levers, cranks, pedals, or the like, e.g. water cycles, boats propelled by boat-mounted pedal cycles"

[thumptastic3@mstdn.plus]

@ai6yr @MLE_online @rachel Looks more stable.

[thumptastic3@mstdn.plus]

@ai6yr @MLE_online @rachel LOL!

[ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org]

@Thumptastic3 @MLE_online @rachel Prototype mountain bike lol. With little stabby things. I wonder how many people died trying to ride this guy's invention? 🤪

[thumptastic3@mstdn.plus]

@ai6yr @MLE_online @rachel I certainly wouldn't want to stop too fast on that! Peal your face like a carrot.

[jbaggs@infosec.exchange]

@MLE_online I'm vaguely cool, but I've got square wheels. I'll get my shit sorted in the next century though. I promise.

[attoparsec@clacks.link]

@MLE_online Square, checking in.

[ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org]

@Thumptastic3 @MLE_online @rachel LOL "Ice velocipede". I'm going to say this doesn't work. Anyway, there are so many fun 1880's and 1890's bicycle designs.

[misternineham@mastodon.social]

@MLE_online i hope it wasnt an art piece. i hope it was their daily driver, and they have other, stranger bikes as art pieces

[thumptastic3@mstdn.plus]

@ai6yr @MLE_online @rachel A do it yourself snowmobile! I loved mine!

[wandrecanada@mastodon.social]

@ai6yr @Thumptastic3 @MLE_online @rachel That's super cool. It probably didn't have the traction to move well but it's a solid example from the safety bicycle explosion.

[ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org]

@wandrecanada @Thumptastic3 @MLE_online @rachel LOL apparently not just bicycles are considered "velocipedes"

Here's a giant hamster wheel for humans

Just a moment...
