What would you change? I'm just lukewarm on it, it just doesn't quite work for me. When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments- Elizabeth West.

Put the top tube back to a 'classic' line. Looks like the reason why they did that was to fit the pedal assist battery/drive.
The colours, the carbon, the gates drive all look well placed to me. I'd like to see the wheel clearances changed to be a 29er MTB... Could be awesome.

  I wouldn't pay for it but if someone wanted to (enormous) surprise me for me birthday... Can't see the DT flattened on that axis being very aero. ...whatever the road rules, self-preservation is the absolute priority for a cyclist when mixing it with motorised traffic.

 We recently featured the Fliz bike concept, which saw riders hanging from the frame of the bike and scooting along, rather than sitting astride the bike and pedaling as they do with conventional bicycles. This was an attempt to evolve the basic bike format, and the designers of Fliz aren't alone in their efforts. The Bicymple is, as its name suggests, an attempt to present the bicycle, simplified. And it's an ambition that, on first glance, looks to have been fulfilled.

Steerable rear end? Not lockable?
It's a toy not a valid means of transport.

Reminds me of the Budnitz, and i reckon they're equally ugly, too swoopy for me.

The rat seems to like the seat  bychosis ( bahy-koh-sis): A mental disorder characterised by symptoms, such as delusions or hallucinations, that indicate impaired contact with reality not containing bicycles.

Also a dork disk on the back wheel, I don't see it going very fast without a chain too  Though maybe the chain was removed for aero savings?!

I love this thing, but then, I think that nearly every bike in this thread is groovy. The quirky designs a few pages back are all amazing. Sure, they may not be an improvement on our simple safety bicycle, but I admire the creativity and different engineering solutions that are on show. I would have a crack at them all. You have officially become your parents.
