Tipul asta de bicicleta, cu “coada rotunjita” se auto-promoveaza ca fiind mult mai comfortabila mentinand totusi aceeasi eficienta in pedalare si rigiditate generala. Trebuie sa recunoastem ca arata foarte ciudat dar un ciudat pozitiv. Sigur ar intoarce multe capete curioase si multi biciclisti de cariera as vrea sa o incerce!

The classic double-diamond bicycle frame works well enough.  But odd designs could be fun, too (I mean, how can you not love a hotdog-shaped bike).  The RoundTail Bike justifies its unusual shape by claiming to be “dramatically more comfortable,” all while “retaining the same lateral stiffness and pedaling efficiency.”

Created by Canadian bike-builder Lou Tortola, the idea for the frame first came about after he noticed the amount of discomfort and injuries caused by riding among long-time cyclists.   Using hoops instead of a pole at the rear end allows the frame to absorb more of the road vibrations, dulling a lot of the impact that would otherwise end up pushing against you instead.
