This article ends with a list of bullet points; the final one is "[the guy who made that bike] is a genius".
- mariusor 5y agoHis dedication to going as fast as possible on human power is legendary (they even made a movie about him). At no point did he have in mind the practicality of his devices for the average commuter. They are extreme machines and nobody will force you to don your spandex and show your butt to the skies on your weekend ride.
