Some people just always have to be different! Whatever, this thing is cool. It's a sideways bicycle, created by inventor Michael Killian, and unlike your typical front-facing bike, this is balanced by human front & back balancing techniques. Supposedly this gives you more artistic expression, similar to snowboarding vs. skiing. For more information on the technology behind the bicycle, visit Michael's website.
But I'll let you be your own judge! Need a demonstration?
That Michael Killian... "so hot right now."

I fail to see how this could ever be used like a skateboard or snowboard. It looks so ungainly and...ummm...stupid?

They call it the super wacky awesome turbo bike. I swear Guys YOU have to see that episode of south park and then look at the bike.. youll laugh as hard as I did!
OMGRFOLAGE.
I never knew this thing actually existed! the episode of SP came out ages ago and it was based around trying to make the stupidest toy possible to take the kids focus off of the pokemon craze. the toy industries present this type of bike to the kids...
oh.... just watch the episode you will love it!

This has got to be the worst invention ever.. First, that video probably shows the top speed of the bike. Any faster would kill you. One sharp turn and you're on the ground. Immediate braking and you're on the ground. Stopping means leaning forward. Leaning backwards means you're on the ground...
NO THANKS.
