I was lucky enough to get one of Carlton Reid’s Christmas E-cards today, and this little thingamajig caught my eye midway through the animation:
Some sort of cool, carbon fibre modern version of a Penny Farthing? I had to get more information - I could almost see this coming in really handy (because after...

In general, I’m not such a fan of these.
A bike with an electric motor? Really, you’ve got to be kidding me! That is SO missing the point.
