I’m going out on a freak bike Friday limb here. These are three quasi-mainstream bikes. They are manufactured and sold by companies, not hacked together in garages by mad torch-wielding drunkards and ridden in jousts. In some ways, that makes them all the freakier, I think.
Exhibit A: The Moulton. First brought to my attention by David McLean, who proudly showed off his Moulton during a class at Bikeworks in Seattle.
Freaky thing, the Moulton.
Exhibit B: The Kimori.
Now is that really necessary? Really? It’s not a folder, it’s just… odd.
And Exhibit C, The Pederson.
Yeah, you knew there was a Pederson coming in this list, didn’t you?

i guess i should have known the pederson was coming. instead i was thinking, “oh! i’ll have to send tom a link to the pederson!” these bikes seem to fly in the face of the concept that the best solution is the most simple, elegant one… for all their charm they make me think someone got all the parts for a bike, but no instructions on how they go together!
mad; well, yes
torch-wielding; check
drunkards; Hey! Them’s jousting words!
