No, I'm not crazy. And I didn't even get stoned. Kurashiki are not little people that live in the grass. This is an ancient city in Japan. Rather, not even a city, but a town. And there, just, bicycles do not always travel on the ground. See for yourself:
Kurashiki and the sky bike
Kurashiki
You can ride these bikes in the amusement park “Highland Park”. By the way, in the photo above, I was personally embarrassed by rust on metal structures)). I hope they don't rust at all someday, which could cause an accident. Moreover, they do not ride here alone, but in whole groups: -po-oblakam-3329ee4.jpg” alt=”Kurashiki and the sky bike: a walk on the clouds” />
Kurashiki, Japan
As you can see, the sky bike is a two-seat trolley that is powered by pedals, just like a regular bike. Only the torque is transmitted not to the wheels, but to the rollers, which allow the bike to slide along the rails.

To be honest, I don't know if I could move my legs at such a height or not))). It's scary … But, I see, this does not stop the Japanese. Both young and old ride…
Sky Bicycle
Of course, I would very much like to try it. Moreover, from the top there are beautiful views of the panorama of the island. Yes, and the inland sea of Seto is very well visible from here. oblakam-774f7dc.jpg” alt=”Kurashiki and the sky bike: a ride on the clouds” />
Japan's sky bike
The Japanese, it seems to me, tend to combine business with pleasure in many ways. Why not do something like a roller coaster?)) But no. By the way, this park also has a Ferris wheel. This is if you do not dare to pedal)). Oh, and there is also a slide… There it is, on the left…

2 places: pedals, saddles and handlebars
The design of sky bikes is very simple. 2 seats: pedals, saddles and handlebars. And a basket for things. I forgot something… Oh, yes! Seat belts! Of course, you can’t ride such bikes without them)).
I wonder what it's like to be at such a height in pouring rain… It is unlikely that a small roof will save you from a downpour…

Tell me honestly, would you dare to take a bike ride in the air?=)
