Zeltini Z-Triton

I don't speak German but I like the Der Spegiel headline for some reason:

> Das Hausbootfahrrad (The Houseboat Bike)

I feckin love this kind of absurd invention. The thing itself may not be usable but it may give rise to something that is, and that style of thinking, of looking at far corners of the design space, will work elsewhere. This is good stuff. Indirectly I think thinking like this really is of value, and perhaps should be taught.

I know that quick dismissals are not good, but that seems ridiculously heavy thing to ride around. Tellingly there is no weight rating.

This is weirdly wonderful.

I was curious if anyone could speak to the toilet design they have on their product page. Does it work so simply?

What size wheel is that up front? I've gone on several long distance bike tours, and I'm not sure I'd be happy with a nonstandard size wheel.

Cool design none the less.

The cost is unannounced, but it will surely be astronomical. The penny farthing design feature is going to really appeal to the urban hipsters that will be able to afford it.

I would bet the price approaches the cost of a nice used pull behind camper.
