Thank you.
The rear wheel is a free wheelprobably
Surely after making that, someone would’ve been like, “what if we added TWO to the back?” Right? I just mean: why was this even a thing!?
correct
Translation: Bicyles don’t stink … are silent
For being mandatory where I live, it sure is odd literally no one decided to draw some reflectors on the spokes.
How are you holding up in Communist China?
You can understand it’s a bike without those. Like a stick figure, no eyes or nose are necessary for you to know what it is.
This one looks French.
Mon dieu. Non.
Hon hon hon.
Damn. That actually looks like a bicycle.
I’ve been looking at bicycles a lot recently because I was looking for a new one. Maybe later with more time I’ll try a better one. I feel like it should be possible to get a pretty good result.
POV: The chain fell off and your face (one side of it, at least) plummet towards the dirt.
Dayum.

the one guy in here who rides a bike
No chain, no wheel spokes, no brakes. It’s your funeral, I suppose. (No offense, OP, lovely drawing. In one of the top percentiles, for sure.)
The style is called Recumbent. Specifically, long wheel base above seat steering.
Aren’t the handlebars usually below the seat on a recumbent bike?Edit: I stand corrected. Apparently there are a bunch of recumbent bikes with high handlebars
High and low handlebars as well as high and low pedals (bottom bracket).
There are also compact long wheelbase, short wheelbase, trikes with either 2 wheels in the front or rear, and 4 wheelers.
I prefer high handlebars so I have an easier time pushing the bike when needed, a place to mount a speedometer, a mirror, and arm pits gets sweater with low handlebars. I’ve also been thrown up off the seat when I hit a hump in the road. If I was riding a low handlebar bike I’m pretty sure I would have crashed due to losing my grip on the bike.
I like this one, because the others make me feel bad about myself.
They are super comfortable on long trips.
In all seriousness, I always wanted to try one of those things. I was riding a $50 (admittedly awesome) mountain bike fixed up by the local bike co-op, so seeing the douchebags (NO OFFENSE) ride by on these made me a little sick. But because I’m poor. But also because COME ON REALLY?
No offense taken. They do have compromises, slow speed instability for the one I owned, and truthfully I prefer a mountain bike but conventional bikes are too uncomfortable for me.
If you do get the chance to try one, don’t be timid. Push hard on the pedal and get some speed. It will be much easier to steer.
One of the most annoying things about riding a recumbent for me is the attention they generate. I’ve been pulled over by a cop because he wanted to look at the bike. One day a dipstick stopped in a crosswalk, holding up traffic, to look at the bike.
They look awesome. I have a terrible back, so my hatred was always pure envy. It seems like it’d be such a luxurious way to ride, and I love bike riding, so it might honestly be my ideal. Maybe someday.
IndubitablyThinking outside the box!
Lmao, I can’t draw.
But: Now I know these comments are real people. (Or are they? 🧐)
Dr Seuss ass bike
The only way in which we will know these people are real is if they are able to draw hands perfectly
Nice, it has a handle on top for throwing it far away ;-)
Handle? That’s the propeller.
I love that this one’s frame is attached directly to the tops of the tires.
Dude. I can’t draw a bicycle while looking at it.
I just realised I drew the pedals as suspended in midair and frankly I regret nothing
This is like the lefty-facing one below combined with the Dr. Seuss guy above. This could be a way of matching partners…?
I forgot the pedals…
This is crazy accurate. How many bikes must you have seen!?
this one in particular calls out to me
