The Velocipede

The black and yellow Velocipede is the world's first human powered vehicle with an ultra strong carbon fiber monocoque chassis. Designed by Michael Goretzky, this vehicle weighs only 60 lbs. and has two forward 20" wheels, perfect for those twisties. You'll find a "slipstream airfoil shape" cockpit and recumbent seat on the inside. Now here's the real shocker, it costs $13,999.95.

"...the customized vehicle combines the low-impact exercise benefits of a recumbent bicycle with the stability of a three-wheeled cruiser and the aerodynamics of a concept automobile."
