Yeah, but the W3 site is so ugly...

This bike design is so bad, someone has written and recorded a mock commercial for it:

That list of links should be marked-up as such, say a UL.

Oh, and this doesn't work with ie6.


var hiddenDivs = [];

jQuery.fn.divroller = function(options) { settings = jQuery.extend( { visible : 3, pause : 3000 }, options);

start(settings, this);

function start(settings, container) { var divs = container.children(); //hide unvisible divs while (settings.visible < divs.length) { var removedDiv = $(divs[divs.length - 1]).remove(); hiddenDivs.push(removedDiv); divs = container.children(); }

		setTimeout( function() {
			roll(settings, container)
		}, settings.pause);
		
	};

	function roll(settings, container) {
		//Dom manipulation.
		container.prepend(hiddenDivs.pop());
		hiddenDivs.unshift($(container.children()[settings.visible]).remove());
		
		//Efect
		$(container.children()[0]).hide();
		$(container.children()[0]).slideDown("slow");

		//Repeat
		setTimeout( function() {
			roll(settings, container)
		}, settings.pause);
	}
}


What's the innovation here? The luminescent-painted frame?

It looks weaker than the traditional internal triangle...which is ironic considering they are framing it as "a tribute to the triangle".

Bicycle turn signals aren't new...you just never see them because they are useless. They can only be seen in the dark, and hand-signals and head-nods are much more visible by drivers, who wouldn't even notice another small blinking light on your bicycle.

Other than that it looks like a normal fixie. Pedal cages, front disc brake, and messenger bars. Awful for riding long distances or up and down hills, or making frequent stops.

We don't know who would be manufacturing the frame, wheels, or components, or if they are quality or not.

This is basically just a "look I make shiny bike tiem" post.
