It'll sell millions. Can I be your manager?

can I be your lover?

I'd have thought something like this might be more practical.

Judging by the standard of english in that post, I guess this must be another "design student".

Come on guys, don't be so harsh on the poor guy.

Even if bike4all is a design student, they are at least showing some sense in coming to the font of all wisdom on the net.

Back

to the OP's question:

Your suggestion might help support someone's back, but it will cause other problems.

Breathing - you are going to compress the chest, bad idea.

Interfere with leg movement - in a low position, your thighs will nearly be touching your chest.

recumbents are a better idea.

What's wrong with your back and legs?

More information might help us to help you.

I've used one of these devices for years now; I call it "my fat gut".

Phil · « **Reply #10 on:** 04 March, 2011, 12:24:51 pm »

You've inspired me to have this idea, does it work? Maybe we could go into production together?

Rhys W · « **Reply #11 on:** 04 March, 2011, 01:11:01 pm »

Is that bobb?

It's bobb's recurring dream.

Might I propose the addition of a sturdy pannier rack to add to the possibilities raised by this invention?

Phil · « **Reply #15 on:** 04 March, 2011, 03:05:52 pm »

Worlds of possibility! Indeed, with the simple addition of a 'lowrider' front pannier rack, such a thing can be effected:

I'm about to make a patent application for this device, I'll cut you in on the profits Ural.

Hot Flatus · « **Reply #16 on:** 04 March, 2011, 03:13:38 pm »

Hmm...I think that last design may need some more work. Only one of the riders seems to be benefitting from the device.

Rhys W · « **Reply #17 on:** 04 March, 2011, 03:14:28 pm »

Can you do a tandem version, with a cupholder?

Phil · « **Reply #18 on:** 04 March, 2011, 03:21:51 pm »

A member of the florum who would prefer to remain anonymous has pointed out that with the simple addition of BMX type stunt pegs, a fourth member can join the party, as it were.

Hummers · « **Reply #19 on:** 04 March, 2011, 05:34:22 pm »

Is it too late for this innovative design to be entered (!) into the 'Audax Engerrland' cycling shirt competition?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm?

It has a certain something to it that should appeal to Johnny Foreigner for sure.

OK, I just wandered in here from the "Recent Posts" section....

I have no idea wtf you guys are up to, and I'm just going to quietly and carefully back slowly out again, leaving you to it and and pretending I did't see anything.

Phil: I've spotted a major flaw in your design.

You'll need thicker tyres to support all that body weight

Phil · « **Reply #23 on:** 04 March, 2011, 06:24:46 pm »

It's a valid point, perhaps a rather beefier frame is called for as well.

I do feel we still haven't plumbed the depths of potential that this invention offers. For example - simply flip the device horizontally, and perform the 'MB Manoeuvre':

Phil · « **Reply #24 on:** 04 March, 2011, 06:39:03 pm »

The very same!
