Urban Cycling Developments

[Rizzo]

I mean don't get me wrong, I think the bikes look fun, and maybe it's only meant for that. Sometimes there's some embellishment behind the designer stated to the vehicle's purpose.

I'm approaching it more form the angle that there might need to be some regulation of larger novelty bikes on our roads. I've noticed in Chicago some pretty funky looking bikes that are fun, but really test the capacity of our streets and bike lanes to handle them. Imagine trying to pull around one of these things in busy traffic.

I realize it's probably not the most important thing to discuss as I doubt these will pop up everywhere, but I think as bicycling becomes more popular, people will come up with some crazy inventions that could cause problems.
