Bike designed to be ridden sideways

Darryl C said:

This bike design throws away the conventional design principles by
seating the rider sideways. Oh, and it uses both wheels to steer.
I see it but I am not sure whether it is an improvement on the standard
safety bicycle design.

Be hell on your neck if you want to see where you are going.

in bicycle design."

Perhaps, but I dunno they are waiting for this!

Those that don't know history are bound to repeat it.

There's a bit about this on "The Bike Show".

And thus nature balances itself.

Talk about not being able to let go of a bad idea.

The only thing that might work is the modded push scooter with steering a both ends. The rest of it is a joke.

Of course it will probably be the next thing next "birth of novel character day" (ie Christmas). By new years everyone will have realised how stupid/split their heads open and will be back on a normal bike.
