CIMG7719 The swan / butterfly bike from the back

CIMG7719 A swan / butterfly bike from the back. It was created by Cycle Circus Austin and displayed at the Maker Faire 2007. It’s hard to tell whether the swan and the butterfly are one or two separate machines. The swan has a bicycle seat between the wings, but those same wings obscure my ability to see into the back of the butterfly bike.

Here is the front of this contraption.

Maker Faire was a two-day event that celebrated arts, crafts, engineering, science projects and the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) mindset. It took place in Austin, Texas in October 2007.
