    A new cycle? Couldn't see that one on the xntrick pages. Is it just an
    odd looking upright tadpole trike, or are there some more joints there
    that I haven't noticed?

  4. It's not one of mine, but all the wheels are eccentric - so it goes up
    and down and side to side as you ride it!

    Plus it knackers you out after half a mile. Or rather it had that effect on
    Darth Stuart...

    I think the easiest way to ride it is to lift one front wheel clear of the
    ground.

    That's what I'd end up with if I ever tried wheel building.

    It lives at Cyclemagic in Leicester (http://www.cyclemagic.org.uk/)
    and will no doubt be seen at the Ride Leicester event that is being
    planned for next May.

    Or you could have gone to Cyclefest.
