If the term \u201cunusual bike\u201d brings to mind a strangely painted bicycle with funny lights, think again. Some people are inventing bikes that may get strange looks now, but perhaps some day, these bikes could become mainstream.\u00a0 There are lots of crazy contraptions out there, but here is a list of five crazy non-electric bikes that offer practical advantages – keep an eye out for these in your neighbourhood!<\/strong>

\"Perhaps<\/a><\/p>\n

Perhaps we\u2019ve all spotted cool bicycles you can ride while comfortably \u201clying down\u201d, namely recumbent bikes, but this awesome model can also fold into a portable bundle.<\/p>\n

\"This<\/a><\/p>\n

This bike is for the fitness freak in you – it will allow you to combine your morning workout on your ellipictal machine with your commute.<\/p>\n

ThisWay<\/h2>\n

\"Some<\/a><\/p>\n

This crazy bike offers weather protection in the form of a roof, making it more attractive than traditional bicycles to those accustomed to commuting by car.<\/p>\n

\"Now<\/a><\/p>\n

Now that people are talking about how sitting down is bad for one\u2019s health, and some are even buying stand-up workstations, here is a bicycle that will almost let you stand-up while biking.\u00a0 When folded up, it is even small enough to fit into a bag and be considered hand luggage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
