I would have thought this was funny when I was younger, now it looks almost practical.

People spend thousands to get a bike that's a few ounces lighter. Unless they're pro competitors, it's a waste of money.
I used to work with an elderly engineer who was legally blind, so he couldn't drive, and rode a bike to work. Fortunately he also couldn't see how close he came to getting killed every damn day. He also collected bikes from high wheelers to exotic imports. He told me it's better to ride a 30 lb bike, than a 25 lb bike that forced him to carry a 10 lb lock/chain. So why not eliminate all that frame weight and go with the wheels?

Folks are running 1x10 so you don't throw a chain. Most of what I ride could be done middle chainring but I do like to have that grannie on steep long climbs.

That brought a tear of joy, thanks Griff.
Here's the vid about the bike. I wondered about how he'd manage the difference in riding style, being sitting the whole time, literally strapped down into the bike. No help from his legs soaking up the movement from the bike and terrain. Turns out, there's just the one shock absorber to soak it up. Amazing.

He has a really magnetic personality, I think because he knows who he is and what he needs to be happy. I've been reading The Rise of Superman a book about attaining flow and applying it to everyday life. The author spends a lot of time on "extreme" athletes and it is about brain chemicals not so much about adrenaline as a series of them. One worry for these guys is sometimes finding flow requires going out another step beyond. He has hit the reset button I think.
He probably belongs in Gravs awesome people thread.

If you're peddling your ass around town, why not get the maximum health benefit? I mean you're going to get sweaty anyway.

Somehow I keep waiting for Dysan to put his mark on bikes.
His fan already looks the part and for every action there's a ... |

Better not skip leg day if you own one of these bicycles.
 And there goes Griff.
