great bikes

this velocar post over at boingboing reminded me that i wanted to do a post about cool bikes. the first four are form trendhunter's excellent top 50 innovative bicycle designs...

this trike carver looks great. i've got a friend who makes trikes called "north cargo" that's trying to compete in the automotive x prize. they have a cool design because uses already pre-existing standard bicycle materials... the support/repair structure is already in place.


i've always wanted to see a car sized bike like this...


this suitcase bike looks super practical, if maybe a bit heavy.


also, "the one" bike looks like it collapses really small... think it's just a concept for now.


people in india and thailand carry huge loads on bikes... the trailer is really a key addition.


and don't forget the (easy to ride!) unicycle on this post... awesome...
