The Multi-Angle Bike

I could totally see Fred Flinstone riding one of these things.

Not much is known about this weird multi-angle bicycle, only that it was invented by Guan Baihua, a Chinese man who thought he should give people ‘an alternative to the normal, boring bikes.’ It doesn’t look too fun to ride, with a polygonal wheel at the front and a triangular one at the back, but it must be a great way to lose weight. This is not the first weird  Chinese two-wheeled creation, the home-made chopper is also something you don’t see every day.

If Guan wants some tips about designing an original, yet cool bike, he should have a look at Jason Battersby’s Tequila Sunrise and Eye Candy.

    In case anyone is curious, a bike like this would actually ride smooth (well, as smooth as a bike with… a solid disk for a wheel) would ride.

    The shapes of the wheels are a special type of shape: shown in the link below:

    they have constant width so its not like ur riding a triangle, these things will still “roll”

    see the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_coin_Fifty_Pence is a common example of this shape.

    Good Lord. Just imagining the trauma to one’s scrotum brings a tear to my eye. Only someone who hated their own testicles would ride such a bike.

    And God knows what would happen to the ladies. They’d probably get pregnant.
