Bike with no seat
Postby Ross » Sat Jul 19, 2014 1:33 pm
Looks strange/silly. Dissapointing there is no performace comparison to a regular bike. What happens if the harness fails or slips? Wouldn't the harness chafe?

Has a few YouTube links. Apparently it is suppose to mimic the sensation of flying.

No way.
No how.
No nothing.
NOT going there, promise me a bespoke Baum Corretto and I'm still not clambering inside THAT. The absolute wrongness of everything to do with that shape is eye watering.

I recall seeing harness systems previously and without a seat tube it loses a crucial fixed pivot point. Rather than just 'hanging' the straps also need to be connected to the frame below as well and sideways movedment prevented.

Insert "flying bicycling" into my previous post at appropriate intervals.
