Bicycle With Odd-sided Wheels

A Chinese man has invented a bicycle with odd-sided wheels. Guan Baihua, 50, a retired military officer in Qingdao, spent 18 months developing his unique bike. The front wheel is a five-sided pentagon while the back wheel is a triangle. He says although it looks like an ordinary bicycle but designed and made all of the other components himself.


Guan says the bike is mainly for fun but says riders could use it to lose weight as it takes more effort to pedal.


Recently he has successfully patented his new invention. He says that he is now looking for a manufacturer to mass produce his invention.


"I've enjoyed inventing things from childhood, and since I retired from the military three years ago I have been creating small inventions at home in my free time," he said.

A journalist wanted to ride the bike but he failed. He says, " It needs special skills, otherwise it's hard to balance".
