The bike you see above this is an example of a crazy concept made reality. This is the Uno Bike and it was created by Ben Gulak. His original concept was one that had the idea of a Segway in which you would lean forward to accelerate. He quickly learned that this was too scary once you got to a certain speed and had to revamp the design. What he decided to do was way cooler. He made it so that once the user hits 20mph one of the wheels will slide forward and in front of the other, turning it into a regular motorbike. This way it can handle the speeds that it's expected to go; up to 40mph. As cool as this is it feels like he could have done something better and more useful. He obviously has an extraordinary eye and brain for inventing and designing, but it's wasted here. Regular cyclists can go faster than this thing can and don't require fuel. It will be interesting to see where he goes next and will definitely be a name to remember.
