The source for the "hailed as the first major development in bicycle design for 150 years" is unsourced. Yes, it is on the BBC site, but it is in the Magazine section which takes a look at quirky issues. The claim is not attributed to anybody and the only person quoted in the article is the bike's

inventor which means that the claim is likely to have come from the inventor himself. An invention is just that - an invention. There is no evidence in the article or anywhere else that the inventor has managed to sell the bike to any manufacturer. It remains, therefore, not notable.

I know it's meant to be speedy, but comeon, give me a chance to actually write an article! 59: 31: 334: 167: 173: 143: 329: 244: 134: 114: 89: 55: 27: 95: 248: 310: 270: 240: 207: 77: 142:
