The Bicymple

Ever see one of these?


Sounds interesting. Would be fun to try it out for a spin, making sure to take in a couple of 8% grades, cobblestone streets, gravelly corners, duking it out with cars on some fairly busy street, y'know, the usual whatevers.

I saw a video of it. Is it too short of a wheelbase for rack 'n roll???

That's cool! I'd like to try it. 'cause in 1974 I never got a chance to try a Swing Bike. Everything's been done;



Here's your question Stu: Has anyone ever made a bike that converts into 2 unicycles? That would be something.

The seat needs to be way further back.

That does look a lot like two unicycles bolted together, pedals removed, and handlebars added. Acts a lot like one, too.


I'm curious about the little wipeout in the video's last couple of seconds. It begs the rather serious question, in what way(s) is this thing unstable?


Bus racks: Good question. I'm sure the J-hook would hold the one end in place easily enough, but is the wheelbase long enough to get the second wheel in a slot? Can't tell.
