# Sideways Bike New Bicycle from Ireland By killianmichael | Published 2006-12-18 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sideways-bike-new-bicycle-from-ireland References: [sidewaysbike](http://www.sidewaysbike.com) This bicycle is ridden forward and is balanced by using human Left to Right balance. This bicycle uses independant (non linked) [Front and Rear steering](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bike-car-hybrid). The ride is very wavy sort of like skiing with a capacity to drift to the right or left. The front and rear steering makes the bike much more maneuverable than a [single steer bike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motorcycletraining-gadgets-rawrrs-wheelie-helper-is-the-perfect-practice-to). Your hands are by your side and you don't exert a lot of pull on the steering. Its sort of like riding a horse where you cannot lean on the reins but all body movements come out of your seat and saddle. The saddle is nessicarily a [unicycle saddle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motoroid-bike) (You would slip forward off a regular bike saddle). I would predict that the audience for this bike would be teenagers to young adults. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 78% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Human Left to Right Balance:** Opportunity to develop technologies or products that utilize human body movements for balance in different applications. - **Independent Front and Rear Steering:** Potential for creating innovative steering systems that enhance maneuverability in various vehicles. - **Wavy Riding Experience:** Chance to design unconventional modes of transportation that offer unique and exciting riding experiences. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Cycling and Bicycles:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in developing unconventional bicycle designs to cater to different preferences and target markets. - **Automotive:** Possibility for integrating independent steering systems in cars or other vehicles to improve handling and maneuverability. - **Sports and Recreation:** Innovative opportunities to create new recreational vehicles or equipment that offer thrilling and unconventional riding experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Tread-Wheel Geometric Bicycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-q.md) - [Realistic Riding Exercise Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muoverti-tilt-indoor-smart-bike.md) - [Wearable Electric Three-Wheelers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wearable-electric-threewheeler.md) - [Senior-Suited Balance Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carbon-fiber-balance-bike.md) - [Four-Wheeled Hybrid Bike Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/karver-cyle-concept-k1.md) - [Swingarm-Supported Velocars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velocar.md) - [Rowing-Style Recumbent Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/varibike-extreme.md) - [Self-Balancing Baby Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woom-wow.md) - [Slipper Wheel-Less Bicycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slipper-bicycle.md)
