recumbent or upright?

Hmmm. Should I get a recumbent or an upright bike? If the ZWEISTIL makes it into production, you won’t have to choose. The bike demonstrated in the following video is an entrant in this year’s James Dyson award competition.

From the website…

The James Dyson Award is an international design award that celebrates, encourages and inspires the next generation of design engineers. It’s run by the James Dyson Foundation, James Dyson’s charitable trust, as part of its mission to inspire young people about design engineering.

The winner of the James Dyson Award 2008 was Michael Chen, from Middlesex University in the UK, who designed Reactiv, a cycling jacket that communicates a cyclist’s intentions to other road users.

    Maybe I’m the only one tired of all the design projects. This ranks right up there with the water-filter bike and the bike lane light.

    I’m not a big one for recumbents, but that’s pretty rad!
