Types of bicycle

This article lacks any proper description of types of bicycle, such as track bicycle, road bicycle, hybrid, racing bicycle, etc, together with a scientific analysis of efficiency and function.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.236.212.245 (talk • contribs) 16:42, 27 July 2015‎

Strandbeest bicycle (a "walking"/robotic bicycle), Twicycle (dual cycling), elliptical bicycle, halfbike, stringbike... Setenzatsu.2 (talk) 20:30, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

gravel bike v cyclocross bike v mtb bike 95.178.222.9 (talk) 01:07, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

varibike fr3 (dual cycling), halbrad halfbike - handlebars are behind, not in front of the body, hubless bike (Sadabike) 95.178.143.119 (talk) 09:14, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

mc2 bike

I was thinking of putting it in penny farthing article, as a new approach to that type and essentially a foldable penny farthing but then I saw it has 8 modes and one is recumbent mode. It's World's first "Multi-Configuration Cycle" or Transforming bike. It seems that it can be bought, not a prototype. So what to do with that. It seems that it's too little content for it's own article. 95.178.222.9 (talk) 01:06, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hydrofoil bikes

like Manta5. Maybe an introductory segment could be put in this article ? It's just a question of whether or not similarities outweight differences. 95.178.143.119 (talk) 09:18, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
