Bikes on Water

Amphibious bike ‘Cyclomer’. Paris, 1932. (National Archief)

A while back, I mentioned an intrepid cyclist – Yvon Le Caer - who cycling across water using the machine at the bottom.

This bike is designed to be a, James Bond style, ride straight into the water and back on to the land. – Well, maybe it’s not quite James Bond, as I imagine it would have a pretty low top speed. But, you’ve got to admire the ingenuity of trying to ride across water. I wonder how many people bought it?
