Built without wheels, this infinity bike looks to start a revolution (mashable.com)

Looks great... for going in straight lines.

The lack of ability to turn. The complexity of the design, for what should be an attempt at simplification. The requirement to reinforce the mid section to absurd levels to ensure any flex doesn't break the belt drive.

It doesn't offer any advantages and comes with many drawbacks.

Looks like a kid was asked to design the bike of tomorrow. Seems short-sighted to push as a serious designer. Sure, you'll get coverage from Mashable but nobody will take you seriously.
