aero

the biggest enemy of speed is the aerodynamic resistance. it increases to the second of the increasing speed. therefore the most benefical way to increase speed (and to lower required energy to move from a to b) ist to decrease aerodynamic resistance.

modern racebikes, even specially designed bikes for time trialing, do a lot to decrease aerodynamic resistance. - but this is always and only done within the space of the rules of the international cyclists organisation, the uci.
these rules circumscribe the possible seating position of the driver while dictating several maximum allowed measurements between saddle and handle bar, and between saddle and bracket.

as expected these rules are as reactonary, as rules from a typical sporting syndicate could even be.

luckyly these rules do not effect in real life.

so, the here presented design does not mind any rules instead of these of speed, fun, and security.

jump

in the past lot has been done to create fast bikes with perfect aerodynamic skills. really fast recumbent bikes has been developed.
nevertheless they did not really made their point to daily life.

the reason for that is their inadequate handling in daily life.
while the whole weight of the body of the driver is hanging fully static onto these bikes it is really difficult to shift the weight of driver and bike this dedicate how it is necessary to feel save and boundless agile.

trying to jump above any kind of baffle is nearly senceless, full speed downhill, even on fast lanes is only for the real fearless.

therefore the flyike is been designed. it combines the best aerodynamic skills with the agility of a seating position of race bikes.

the flyike could be driven by a belt drive with gear hub from 8 up to 14 speeds, or by a standard chain drive with front derailleur and gear hub from 16 up to 24 speeds.

feel speed, save and agil.

enjoy it. flyike it!
