Is this genius or insane?

The Shweeb "monorail bicycle system" is pretty fucking weird.

But apparently Google things its a good idea, and has invested a million bucks into this project.

I like that they suggest if someone in front is not pedaling fast enough just push up against them and form a "Scweeb Peloton"






This is the worlds lightest racer




This the worlds lightest bike about 2.7kg though its also one of the most expensive at about $45,000

A few weeks ago I was hand feeding you, now you are trying to kill me.




Some pretty interesting tests conducted by what I assume is some of ANU's finest researchers.


The result is pretty surprising.

Summer Love & Purple Hearts

With winter over and the sun trying it's damned hardest to break the seemingly endless cold and gloomy days of the last three months, I feel in need of a little motivation to gear up for some summer love...
I first saw her cruising into the uni workshop some 5ish years ago ridden by it's previous owner (although Milo will detest otherwise) Matty G... Stock grey paint with the massively extended front end "owner sprayed" bright purple and thus was dubbed the 'Purple Heart'. After uni it was passed into my hands where it was torn apart and resurrected as a low slung cafe-racer style machine with matte black paint scheme and springer front end... This however, was not the most comfortable bike to cruise around on, so it was relocated to my dad's loft for "safe keeping"... Enter my dad in one of his "cleaning modes" and it was perfect timing for me to return her to a sweet arse summer cruiser!
Baby blue paint, red wheels, ape hangers and a custom front end... the Purple Heart will ride again...
