The Lotus Bikes look amazing. Did Boardman have a bike designed by Lotus?

Working out how the Subaru steers and powers the front wheel at the same time has given me a headache.

Wow! I so want some of the bikes there. The three wheel convertible cargo-bike/push stroller thing is awesome.

That Buddy Bike...

Both people can pedal, only the one on the left can steer! 😯

I stripped down a Buddy Bike a few weeks back at the 2nd hand charity bike shop I help out at. It was donated by someone. Looks lethal but I bet it's a laugh to ride, until your both hurt! I'll show them this link as we didn't think it was potentially worth this much 🙂

Its not the only one either. christin made a full suspension 2wd bike using bevel gears. The take off was by the rear disk, went up a telescoping shaft, through a CV joint and allong the top tube, another bevel gear at the headtube and down a shaft to the front wheel (and another gear).
