Looks like another bizarre invention that has zero probability of ever being marketed. I still prefer the regular bicycle design which does not require me to twist my head to see what's in the direction I'm heading.

On 7/6/06, I found, in any overbalanced gravity wheel with rotation rate, ω, axle to CG distance d, and CG dip angle φ, the average vertical velocity of its drive weights is downward and given by:
Vaver = -2(√2)πdωcosφ
Vaver = -2(√2)πdωcosφ
re: What is it about Dublin
This sidebycle is actually quite useful due to the fact that the tectonic plates are known to all rotate around Dublin. Not everyone is aware of this phenomenon, but it's old school to this lad, seein' as I was born and raised just 4989 miles right outside Dublin, myself. Barely a stone's throw, hop and a skip, horse and a whip. I do miss me homeland. Aye, me heart yearns.
