Since these bikes are real and they look wackier than almost all sci-fi vehicule concept design I've seen lately. Most of them, I wouldn't even identify as a bicycle. I'd love to see pics of them with someone riding (to see how they are supposed to.)

They're not real, they're photoshop renders by Scott Robertson.

Crap I can tell if something is a hoax usually. This stuff is good. I'd still like to see someone sit on that.

I don't see anywhere where they identify that it is his work...

Look at the site, its dodgy as hell, they probably plagiarised it...I dont think they could afford Scott's services.

The website is only reporting that another company (Specialized) is developing this line. Which as far as I can tell they aren't, but Scott Roberston put their logo on the bikes, which I guess some people took advatage of to fool others into thinking they were.

The cyclist would not be able to extend his legs...VERY bad on the knees.

I think your figure is about twice the size it would be for the bike. Cut him in half (figuratively speaking (HA! A pun!)) or down by a third or so and I think it will work.

Ummm...did anyone notice that there is apparently no way to steer? I mean, I am sure that you can lean as you would on a motorcycle, but otherwise...

Yes, I know it's too big but I gave it all the time I can. I might fix it later.

yeh this is some big hoax
i remember the guy who created these images had a tutorial on conceptdesignforum while it was still up and running. I think his stuff is super cool, but not too practical...

anyways, if i had to choose one, this bike would most def. be the one for me

someone should actually make these if they have the time and stuff....
