Could you imagine if they made a bike with legs thats faster than tradition wheels maybe something that mimics the force of a hourse leg activated by crank power ...

I thought the "Smallest Bicycle" was hilarious. Gotta wonder how long it took the guy to learn how to ride it.

I noticed those boys on the tall bikes didn't stop at the STOP sign!

That spider leg bike. Could you imagine the carnage on a fast, steep downhill!

I really like the spokeless bike. They didn't include the couch bike or the transparent bike!

Did you notice how one of those tall-bike kids had a broken wrist? Golly, gee I wonder how that happened.

Videos suggest you start and stop by coasting from a peg before climbing up or after climbing down, much like penny farthing.

Or a simple pothole. Imperfections in the surface, as well as balance-control inputs, get magnified the higher you go up, same as a Genie lift.

More likely from dismounting.

Dismounting those tall bikes is easy. Just fall over and try not to get hurt.
