Whats with these bikes....

That people lay down in and pedal? wtf? Is it easier on the back? Or are they just lazy? You guys ever seen these?

Do they kinda look like little cars? I saw some years ago. One had a body around it the other was open and i think it had 3 wheels. They are suppose to be pretty fast but they are expensive for just being a different way of making a bike.

It might be easier on the back, Thats only a thought. I mean if I do squats you feel some of it in your back, and can easily strain it. When doing leg presses and sitting like they are in the seat, I don't feel it as much in my back, more support maybe.
Just a thought. Looks lazy tho.

I mean how do you go up a curb. Thats gotta be wierd. lol

yea they are supposed to be a lot more comfortable and actually easier to ride i guess.

But your nuts are fucked if you hit something.
