A very liberating experience is getting on your bike and feeling the wind on your back. Billion people ride their bikes every day around the world. Some people nonetheless take bicycles as transportation, a form of recreation, a sport, or a way to stay in shape. People are crazy about bikes, but sometimes it’s the small details that make you feel like your bicycle is genuinely yours. Every bike is unique in some way.
As road cyclists, we obsess over bikes and stare at them for a little too long while travelling. There is no bike around that we don’t like, from the latest models to vintage models, to custom-built monsters to mass-produced bog standards that have done their owners proud for years. It’s hard to keep your attention when so much is available. Whether you’re riding or looking for one, here are ten amazing, weird bicycles to get you rocking.
Flying Bicycle:
As the name implies, a Flying bicycle combines a conventional bike with a trailer containing a large fan, fuel for the vehicle, and a flexible fold-away wing. With a bike capable of flying up to 4,000 feet, John Foden and Yannick Read fly up into the sky. In the air, the bike can reach speeds of 25 mph, and on the ground, it can reach speeds of 15 mph. This bicycle looks like something out of a sci-fi movie, as it features three wheels and a motor fan powered by a 249cc engine. It features a three-hour flight time.
Similar to the handlebars and frames, these bikes are lightweight aluminium. A powerful engine allowed Foden and Read to develop a new invention that quickly reached respectable altitudes.
Tallest Bicycle:
A bicycle called the STOOPIDTALLER is the tallest bike globally, growing up to 6.15 meters (20 feet, 2.5 inches). Invented in 2014, it is the product of Richie Trimble. GUINNESS adjudicators rated the bike’s height in Los Angeles, California, USA. Unlike a standard bicycle, this bike cannot get you from one place to another, climb and descend mountain trails, or win the Tour de France. Its sole purpose is to attract attention.
Foldable Bicycle
Yet another bizarre bicycle is a foldable bicycle that can be folded into a compact form for easy transportation. Bringing a foldable bicycle into a building, onto public transportation, or into close quarters is easier.
United States inventor Emmit G. Latta invented the first folding. Karsten Bettin is, however, the creator of this modern folding bicycle. With 14 pounds, a top speed of 15 mph, and eight-inch wheels, the bike has relatively lightweight. The constructor is currently completing these cycles, but they will be presented shortly.
Big wheel bicycle
In contrast to single-track vehicles such as bicycles and motorcycles, which have two wheels inline, big-wheel dicycles have parallel, side-by-side wheels. There are no technical reasons for the invention of the big wheel. Bicycles with large wheels are not the best bikes for maintaining a safe distance from your riding companion. They certainly look cool, though!
Longest Bicycle
There was an 11-foot, 5-inch bicycle built-in in 2011 that is the world’s longest. Pedalling this invention requires two people, as it has two wheels. Mijl van Mares Werk
ploeg is responsible for creating this bicycle back in the Netherlands. Despite his lack of stabilizers, this bicycle is a true challenge to ride.
Fish bicycle
Bicycles considered strange include Fish Bicycle, the first bicycle on the list. There are several wheels on it, and the cover has a fish shape. It is the perfect bike for summertime.
Fastest Bicycle
A bicyclist named Graeme Obree broke the world speed record in 2013 by achieving 56.62mph. With Kevlar and fibreglass shells, the bicycle is entirely protected. As well as the small opening for breathing, it includes a small window on the front. Manufacturers state that the bicycle’s mechanism is inside the shell. Pedalling horizontally in the body will allow a rider to reach speeds of 60mph.
Unicycle
One wheel of the vehicle touches the ground; it is not a common cycle type. There is a pedal-driven direct drive on this cycle, and it is mainly saddle-shaped. These bicycles have a wheel that includes the tire, tube, spokes, hub, axle, and rim. Additionally, the cranks are connected to the wheel hubs. The structure of the wheel has the same characteristics as a standard wheel.
Chainless Bicycle
The same model of bicycle has been running for many years. It is not exciting to ride a chained bike. Each person fascinated by the chainless bicycles will be blown away by this newly designed cycle. Free from chains, an ordinary bike can be transformed into a trick bike in seconds. Compared to other cycles, this one uses modern technology and style unseen before on the road. With over a century of innovation, it is cheaper, lighter, and more efficient. The wheelbase is also short, and the vehicle has a single speed.
Floating Bicycle:
With over two dozen pedals and handlebars mounted on hard-shelled floats, these bicycles are inspired by the 1870s title “water velocipedes.”. Under the water, these handlebars manage a fin. A propeller attached to the frontage wheel transfers the pedal power to the frontage wheel. A bicycle designed by Schuler is very easy to assemble and disassemble. These boats are virtually impossible to tip over, environmentally friendly, and great for exercising on the water.
There are a few crazier innovations we have seen so far. Even though very few of us have had the opportunity to ride some of the weirdest inventions, majority of us are glad to read about them.
So, guys if you’ve taken any of these cycles for a quick ride, or if you’ve taken any crazy mountain bike trips, please let us know in the comment section below.
