In this next picture, note the seat post (not the sissy bar) is actually inserted into something like a typical headset (where a fork and stem would go on the front of a bicycle) that pivots when the pin on the underside of the frame is removed.

- bch 16y agoYup -- they're pretty fun... The bicycle has had nearly 200 years of evolution, though, and the reason most bicycles aren't built like this is it's simply impractical. If the fun/coolness is worth it to you though, it's worthwhile :)
