Weird Bike Wednesday - Di-Cycle

My what big wheels you have!

According to Wikipedia, a dicycle is any vehicle with two parallel wheels. This particular one was developed by a Dutch company called GBO Design. The goal was to come up with a bike that could travel on land or water. In Holland, this would allow you to take the canals when the roads are too crowded. This vehicle won a 2005 design competition, but there isn't a lot of information about it on the Internet now. Steering is tricky on a dicycle, since you have to make a turn by slowing one wheel. How much you slow it relative to the other wheel determines determines the sharpness of the turn. I assume the lady in the photograph has her right hand on the steering control. There is probably a similar control on her left side as well. You can read more about the Di-Cycle on MethodShop.
