The Sideway Cyclist
The story of this guy is quite interesting. The guy in the photo above, an engineer from Dublin named Michael Killian, invented this weird-looking bicycle called Sideways Bike. He tried to combine cycling, skiing and snowboarding and that is what he's got.
I took the photo above on 12 September 2011 in Grafton Street.
Although it doesn't look road-worthy or like the pair of bikes you would give to your loved ones, I actually caught him in action. Apparently, it moves on roads, as you can see from the photo below, taken on 25 February 2012 in College Green.
