Peter's Flevobike, a folding recliner




Peter unfolds his reclining bicycle.


Then he explains the modifications he made, including a head rest and rear paniers. The contraption looks like it still needs unfolding, but no.




He demonstrated it next to a graveyard, to emphasize the risks he took in learning how to ride in this literally laid back way. 




 Peter got it on ebay and it took him a couple of weeks to figure out how to ride it. "It involves a whole new skill set," he explained. I tried it briefly, but did not get very far.



One of the skills you need to learn is to hold out your arms like a bird saying, "What, me worry?"
