I haven't been to the site in ages - everything bike-related has been put on hold due to buying an old house needing a lot of love and so I've become a builder in my spare time. However, entirely by accident, I found this collection of frankly bizarre bicycles created by Italian designer Gianluca Gimini whilst searching for something completely different and I thought it needed to be shared somewhere.
He asked people to draw a bicyle from memory - and then turned a number of those drawings into actual bikes. They're not all entirely structurally sound and some look a little uncomfortable to ride, but it's a thought-provoking set of designs and well worth a browse. Enjoy.
The site's changed a lot in look, but the general categories seem the same, so I'm just posting this under General - please move if it belongs elsewhere.
