A Sideways Bicycle?

Yes, see it and believe it! Inventor, Michael Killian, 46, a software engineer in Dublin says, "It's key advantage is that it's more manoeuvrable than a conventional bike. It is a front-to-back balance not a left-to-right like a normal bike. That affords you tremendous grace and motion. It is dance-like. The advantages are in the motion. It is never going to win you the Tour de France. But it is mesmerizing and entertaining."

How does it work?
The cyclist sits sideways and operates a wheel with each hand, and pedalling makes the whole bike travel sideways.

1: The back cog drives the back wheel chain, which unlike on a normal bike can turn either way when the back handlebar is steered.

2:Back handlebar which steers the back wheel and has a rear light.

3:Front handlebar which steers the front wheel and has a light and rear-view mirror.

4:Pedals are at right angles to the wheels.

5:The seat is shaped like an upside-down crescent.

6:This frame goes over the lap of the cyclist, but can go under if preferred.
