And why not? There's plenty of us interested in what Jim's up to.

So how about this to start with? A chap by the name of Crispin Sinclair (not Sir Clive), has come up with a bike design he actually spent some time with MIRA both testing and simulating. Plus he lists the inestimable Mike Burrows as a co-contributor.

Doesn't look like it got past the funding stage, but it's the first time failure modes have been simulated or tested so far as I can tell.

yeah, this was much derided on another forum I inhabit. Fits the design brief but practicality called into question

The roll cage would prevent broken hips from toppling over. Wait, wrong forum

Not only safe but secure. Easy to lean it against a lamp-post and thread a lock through the cage.

The cage is a nice place to bolt your mirror and your gopro.

You could fit a rain-proof cover. You would be blown all over the road. Which might result in your getting run over

I can’t help but think this may make me a more favorable target to our local drivers. Ha!
