If you had to guess which bike part you could live without, would the fork even make it on the list? The fork connects the handlebars to the front tire and that’s how, since the invention of the bike, you steer the thing.
But here’s an amazing forkless bike design by Olli Erkkila that comes by way of Toxel.com. It was created as a graduation project for the Institute of Design in Lahti, Finland.

Though I’m not eager to take a bike like this on the mountain biking trails of my home base, Colorado (that’s an instant injury for sure), I love the way it reminds me to rethink how I look at the world. Whatever I think can’t be changed, altered, or redesigned simply needs to be looked at in a new way.
So the question is… how the heck do you steer that thing? I’ve posted the demonstration below.
Hello there, i am thinking of getting hold of another motorbike for my hubby. He though is very worried about what type of injuries could take place from biking accidents. See his passion is sports so if he was disabled, he would most likely kill himself, no laughs. Do you think motorbiking injuries usually occur, or is it usually most likely death!
