RECUMBANT

An interesting development of the bicycle. To quote:

"A finalist in the 2004 International Bicycle Design Competition, Blair Hasty crafted his bike to take the pressure off of a rider's back by seating them in a prone position. "In traditional bike designs, the rider's feet are underneath them causing their torso to hunch forward in order to reach the handles; this results in unnecessary strain on the lower back, arms and buttocks, not to mention poor aerodynamics," he says."

Only trouble is, surely more pressure gets placed in a slightly more *sensitive* area...
