    Hmm. Looks pretty nice. Not convinced I'd be able to ride at, what, over 80mph even so!

    Bet they've got a 3D printer, and that's more like it than EADS' attempt (on the "Beauty" thread).

    I like the idea of using the flexy cycle chain to accomodate the small steering angles so that the pedals can be fixed to the frame.

    And no side winds..!

    There are quite practical versions (although nothing like as fast) such as this one, which holds the record for Land's End to John o' Groats...
