the strangest bicycles I have ever seen. Enjoy! - Jeff

Very nice. I particularly like the Zero Bike:

Can you really count the Zero bike in such a list?  Since it really is
only a concept, and not a working vehicle AFAIK.

The only thing the OP is counting is the click-through dollars.  Check
the spammi...errr...posting history.

Well yeah, but I was mostly just talking to the responder (I am assuming
that he's not a sockpuppet).

Well I found it interesting because I'd not come across the Zero Bike 
before. It was just a list of interesting ideas as far as I was concerned.

I apologise if I've encouraged a spammer. I did notice that he'd 
crossposted to quite a few groups but they all seemed on topic as was 
his web site. With all the non-relevant spams I get day in day out, one 
that is actually targetted towards a particular audience is a refreshing 
change.

Well having just defended a spammer, I'm questioning whether I'm a 
sockpuppet myself :-o I'm not though!

I suppose I look at the zero bike as over-engineered tomfoolery.  There
are enough bad ideas in bicycling that we don't need to go blue-skying
to find new novel bad ideas.

Suuuurre you're not.  I just have one question sock-boy - Cotton or
Wool?
