"Velocipedia" - a collection of unusual bicycles created from incorrect drawings

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.

All of those friends, family and total strangers must have been tapped in the head, my kid can draw better than that.

Some of the bikes do look fun though.

None of them have been made, only drawn up and rendered on a computer.

they should render some of the bikes painted onto cycle lanes

some of those are a bit abstract

@dicki well said!

Or what that the Blaze laser thing projects onto a particularly bumpy road!

Both the twisted cycle lane bike drawings and this show that bikes are actually quite difficult to draw.

TAKE MY MONEY

Kidding please do not

do lean

Reminds me of

The difference being that Pete's bikes work and are generally surprisingly lovely to ride. :)

I'd like to have a spin on that to find out :)
