weird folder with rear-wheel steering

i was walking in dublin yesterday and i saw this guy bowling down the main
road
on what looked to be a folding bike. He had a mirror attached to his
helmet and
a very upright position, kind of sitting sideways with one bar from one
hand
going to his front wheel and another bar going to the rear wheel. I
shouted
out at him but he was gone so quickly I didn't get a good look at his
bike -wtf
was it??

Sounds awfully like Michael Killian riding his Sideways Bike. Is he from
Dublin?
Check out http://www.sidewaysbike.com - he's been riding the one with the
smallest wheels recently.

Can't see how the on-bike-entertainment system actually works.... how *does*
that rear wheel scan the video tape?
