This seems pretty neat at first. But like all the lay-down bicycles it has the fatal flaw of being extremely low to the ground. 1.19m to be precise, according to the FAQ. I mean sure, if you get overlooked run over by an SUV that’s probably the SUV drivers fault. And I also think that anything higher than 1m (including, you know, kids) should be easily visible from any vehicle by design.
But we’re not living in this world (yet?) and it’ll be your broken body in the end.

It’s such a shame that we can’t ride low on the ground - imagine the aerodynamic efficiency gains!
