The Simplicity Simpleton’s Bike

It’s a Unicycle …. for those who can’t ride unicycles!

From The Coolist website  comes the latest in minimalist bicycle design, Joey Ruiter’s Simplicity Bike.

Designed as an on-the-go commuter bike for easy, breezy rides through the city, this highly impractical looking bike (that really is just a glorified unicycle - with two wheels!)  will no doubt sell like hot cakes once it hits the Australian market. As the Coolist says,

“Sure, you won’t be able to keep up with those flying fixies, but you’re going to look damn good at cruising speeds. This bike is a lot more of a head turner than a crank turner, and for once that is absolutely okay with us. Case in point? Just take a look at that dead sexy front view ….”.

Or, in other words, it’s a new toy for attention-seeking, inner-city, vegetarian, latte-sipping greenies.

    Seeing as you tagged it with wankers, it’d suit Wally.

    Well he rides a bike, JR. Looks good on it too – like a big monkey on 2 wheels.
