Thank you.
Lmao, I can’t draw.
But: Now I know these comments are real people. (Or are they? 🧐)
Dr Seuss ass bike
The only way in which we will know these people are real is if they are able to draw hands perfectly
The style is called Recumbent. Specifically, long wheel base above seat steering.
Aren’t the handlebars usually below the seat on a recumbent bike?
High and low handlebars as well as high and low pedals (bottom bracket).
There are also compact long wheelbase, short wheelbase, trikes with either 2 wheels in the front or rear, and 4 wheelers.
I prefer high handlebars so I have an easier time pushing the bike when needed, a place to mount a speedometer, a mirror, and arm pits gets sweater with low handlebars. I’ve also been thrown up off the seat when I hit a hump in the road. If I was riding a low handlebar bike I’m pretty sure I would have crashed due to losing my grip on the bike.
I like this one, because the others make me feel bad about myself.
They are super comfortable on long trips.
In all seriousness, I always wanted to try one of those things. I was riding a $50 (admittedly awesome) mountain bike fixed up by the local bike co-op, so seeing the douchebags (NO OFFENSE) ride by on these made me a little sick. But because I’m poor. But also because COME ON REALLY?
No offense taken. They do have compromises, slow speed instability for the one I owned, and truthfully I prefer a mountain bike but conventional bikes are too uncomfortable for me.
If you do get the chance to try one, don’t be timid. Push hard on the pedal and get some speed. It will be much easier to steer.
One of the most annoying things about riding a recumbent for me is the attention they generate. I’ve been pulled over by a cop because he wanted to look at the bike. One day a dipstick stopped in a crosswalk, holding up traffic, to look at the bike.
They look awesome. I have a terrible back, so my hatred was always pure envy. It seems like it’d be such a luxurious way to ride, and I love bike riding, so it might honestly be my ideal. Maybe someday.
For being mandatory where I live, it sure is odd literally no one decided to draw some reflectors on the spokes.
You can understand it’s a bike without those. Like a stick figure, no eyes or nose are necessary for you to know what it is.
How are you holding up in Communist China?
Ah, you know, can’t complain.
Maybe I’ll take a vacation to the US someday and see what kind of bicycle infrastructure the worlds greatest economy can build.
I just realised I drew the pedals as suspended in midair and frankly I regret nothing
This is like the lefty-facing one below combined with the Dr. Seuss guy above. This could be a way of matching partners…?
This one looks French.
Mon dieu. Non.
Hon hon hon.
this one in particular calls out to me
Dude. I can’t draw a bicycle while looking at it.
Left-facing and spray-painted. Really throwing a curveball here.
I used the pencil tool on my phone.
I cannot prove I didnt cheat…
Also, sorry for the fat-fingered quality.
I drew this on my phoneHere’s my very sleep deprived rendition, enjoy.
I’m late, but still wanted to commend the isometric view, intentional or not. I think you’re the only one that went iso on us.
Aww.
I should have used a pencil but:
I have no idea why you have downvotes. I think people were intimidated by the effort you put in by drawing on physical paper!?
Well, it is a pretty shitty rendition of a bike, maybe it’s just hypercritical critics? t was a nice prompt though, thanks. Good break for a workday.
Thanks, my favorite is still whoever came up with “Draw Vin Diesel from memory.”
This one feels like it’s in motion. It’s cool.
On phone, by hand
