The Germans always make good stuff – Backpack Bike!

Well, as my idol Vince always said, you know the Germans always make good stuff.

Apparently there is a German cycle product for people who would like to hike up mountains and then coast their way down. Doesn’t sound all that bad actualy….but I sure wouldn’t have thought of it. The Bergmoench is a two wheel scooter type bicycle contraption that morphs from backpack into rapid mountain descension device. It lacks a saddle but does offer the extremely awkward looking kneel position (or standing). The video is worth a look to check it out or at least to check out the slightly bizarre monk based advertising they use
