From the Series
A Sideways Bike is great for fun and games but it’s also properly functional and will certainly get you from A to B, or C (for circus).
With two independently steerable wheels and the ability to travel sideways, Michael Killian’s Sideways Bike capitalises on people’s natural capacity for better front/back balance, than left/right control. The rider is positioned at about 90 degrees to the direction of the motion and controls each steering with left and right hand respectively.
Killian says it is easier to ride the bike than it is thinking about how to ride the bike!
