They are not meant to be ridden in the real world. They are experiments in form and function that may lead to real uses down the road.

You only *think* they're "long" (you probably meant wide, but...) because of the bar end mirror. And you only needed to mention the suspension seat post once, really. Finally, how can you say it's "efficient" and then claim the "riders" will have a hard time negotiating through traffic? There's a good reason for having a two-wheeled monstrosity. Turds don't steal ugly bikes. I'd take this one,though...the triple-triangle frame's a dead give-away that this ain't no Huffy.

I'm a heterosexual married guy with kids, and that thing on the bike still freaks me out. “Mimosa Pale believes that the world is too focused on phallic symbols” — yeah, and her installation illustrates very well why the world doesn’t want to see female genitalia displayed like that: it’s fugly.
