Weird Bike Wednesday - Olympic Rings Bicycle

The Olympic rings bicycle

The Olympics will be held in the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro later this year, so this Olympic rings bicycle seems appropriate. Meng Jie came up with the idea when Beijing first applied to host the 2008 games. He rode it quite a bit and it was popular with the people of China. It has a unique design - It can be ridden like a normal bike, or you can use your arms as well as your legs to propel it forward. Here's a video of Meng & his bike from 2008, just before the Olympics opened in Beijing.
