This is the most unique bike I've ever seen.
It has two pivot points.
And we're gonna try it today.
It's called a Bi-Simple.
The pedals are connected directly to the back wheel.
We got discs front and rear.
And it's gonna be so weird.
Whoa!
Ooh, the crazy thing is,
you can't pedal fast or it just wobbles like, wow.
Such a gnarly feeling.
Cause we used one of these in the past.
Here's a little clip.
And that was made from like a real mountain bike.
So the back end was longer.
It was like easier to pedal.
Maybe if some gravity assisted maneuvering,
it might be easier.
Oh yeah, that's cool.
Whoa, it's scary at speeds though.
Whoa!
All right, let's get a wheelie then.
That's the scary bit.
Cause it's directly,
you don't even have to pull up basically.
You just, oh, and then the bike wants to overtake.
I'm not sure it's possible.
Oh!
Oh, that's so ridiculous.
I'm all lent to the sides.
Oh my God, it's so infuriating.
I can't wheelie it.
I'm gonna throw it into the deep end now
and try this huge stair set of doom.
Which is actually gonna be ridiculous
cause you can barely even stand up and ride it.
But I think if I go slow enough, it will work.
Oh, that's actually, oh, it's so daft.
Oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, oh, this is scary, this bit now.
Oh no, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, that was, that was way too scary.
Oh, what a horrible machine.
Let's go and see what else we can do.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Let's go to the next zone, man.
Come to the skate park to give it a go
cause I think it might work better in the corners here.
So I'm gonna get a little run-in
from up the top part and see what happens.
It's kind of just not that cool
that you have to sit down all the time, but.
Oh yeah, see?
No, it's definitely not made for bowling.
Let's try and fake it, see what happens then.
Yeah, fake it.
I need to get that wheelie,
it's like hurting my brain that I can't do it.
Maybe the skate park is the place for it.
Right, it's annoying me I can't wheelie it,
so I've come home and I'm gonna block the back from moving.
Okay, I have this cheaty bolt in there,
let's see if I can wheelie it now.
If I can't, it's gonna be very annoying.
It still wobbles a little bit,
but, oh yeah, it feels like it's gonna flip over
cause you're obviously pedaling directly on the wheel.
Oh, so it is just impossible to wheelie anyway.
All of that work and I still can't do a wheelie.
What the hell, Louis?
Wow, it's still really difficult to ride.
Definitely more likely, but it's still very difficult.
That is insanely weird.
Oh no, my brain hurts, it's so annoying.
I can't even believe I can't wheelie it.
It keeps moving, oh.
Right, I've just come back home,
so I'm gonna put these downhill forks on it now,
which is gonna be ridiculous.
It probably won't even work.
It's gonna be that high almost.
Let's get these off and them on.
Could be the dream.
All right, I've got a 20 inch Halo SAS wheel to go on there
just to lower the front end slightly.
Oh my God, that is actually insane.
Put the pill grip back on.
Final mod is actually to get rid of the locking bolt here.
Just made it to the woods on this insane downhill bike.
Let's see what this trail's like here.
Dropping.
Oh, I need to stay sat down
so I can clamp my knees on the frame.
Right, we're over the first feature.
Into this berm, look.
Oh, oh, bit of air on the back wheel
on this Oppo penny farthing.
We're flying.
Air, yeah.
Oh, oh no, it is so hard to keep the speed on.
But we're in.
Oh, oh no.
Oh.
Oh, whoa.
Yes.
Oppo penny, that is so difficult to use.
Now I've learnt to stay sat down
and clamp my knees here as hard as possible.
It kind of works.
But then I'm sat in this weird, like,
tense position the whole way down.
Right, these kids want to give it a go
because they've seen how ridiculous it is.
Look, he's the pro at it, this guy.
Yes.
Give it a go, mate, yeah.
Just beware.
Oh, no.
I'm so glad these guys are here
to show you that it's that horrible to ride.
Yes, go on.
I can't pedal it.
Yes.
Oh, the master of the wobble bike.
That little trail was a nice warm up,
so we've decided to switch
and come to Watchmore Bike Park here.
We're about to hit a red difficult.
Look at it.
It's going to be horrible.
I'm not hitting that drop.
And as you know, I have to stay sat down.
It's going to make it very sketchy.
Let's give it a go.
Let's wobble bike our way down this trail, then.
Oh, no.
Way too hot for my likings.
Way quick.
Well quick.
Flying on this thing.
Yes.
Oh, that got sketchy.
It's like the faster you go,
the better that thing is.
That's so crazy.
The oppo penny is firing.
Kind of weird, though.
I'm not sure I want to ride it too much more.
Let's give my torque on a session
through the jump line there.
Here I am, just sick little jump line
at this free bike park.
That was a fun little sesh.
It feels so good to be back on a normal bike
with the Canyon Torque on.
But I still think there's a few more bits we could do
on the wobble bike.
Let's go and have a look.
Right, we've come to this little pump track now
because now I've learned to clamp my knees.
I think we can get a slow-mo.
Here we go.
Try and get speed up.
It's hard to pump.
We went from that pump track to the skate park
next to the pump track and then it rained a lot.
And now we've come to a new spot,
hoping it wasn't going to be as wet,
but it is still wet.
But that's not going to stop the fun
because this little cheese wedge here,
proper cheesy,
is going to be sent hard.
But it is really slippy, look.
Could be death, but I think if I roll in there,
we could get a better air on the pump track.
So, whip it in slow-mo.
Get that classical on and watch.
Okay, we're just going to have to accept it can't air.
That's because I can't stand up and actually jump
because obviously then it will spin and I'll die.
So I've got to try and seat bounce.
It's just not working.
But let's play to its advantages,
which is the fact you can get these drift turns.
And with this new knee motion,
I think I can do it better.
So let's do another jump with the long lens
and I'll get some like sick,
sick,
some like sort of turns here, but like that.
Normal mode, no slow-mo.
Sending.
Oh, huge turns.
Oh, this is next level.
Oh, you got to remember what way to have your feet.
And then you can just really fire it where you want.
That's so good when you like pull it
and you're just sat at levels that you just shouldn't be in.
Such a turn.
It's actually the most efficient bike ever made.
The fact you can just fully turn on a dime,
on a dime, dude.
Oh, almost unlocked the wheelie.
Oh my God, that's it.
This is it.
I've unlocked the wheelie in my brain.
In.
Clamp.
Manny.
Massive one.
Coming up.
Now.
Yeah.
Yeah, that is it.
That is it.
Clamp the knees.
Don't let go.
Oh, it's so difficult.
Why?
I just can't wheelie it.
If anyone in the world has wheelied one,
I really want to see it.
So please send it to me on my Insta or something.
As it's still a little bit of daylight left,
I really need to ride my normal bike again
just to get that out of my system
because riding that makes your normal bike feel really odd.
So final few bangers here.
I know it's wet.
We'll see what we can do on the Canyon Stitch 720.
Oh, yes.
It's so nice to be back on a real bike.
Let me bar spin over that thing.
I couldn't jump on that one.
Oh, so good to be back on a wheelie.
Let me 180 across that to flat, actually.
I've got suspension.
Ooh, that was scary.
I was waiting to slide out.
I actually landed on the ramp a bit.
Wonder if I can clear that jump box
or is that a death wish?
That's the only problem, look.
If you're just even slightly skiddy on it,
it's had to do a really weird run up to clear that.
Oh, it's so scary.
Oh, what a horrible game to play.
The land perfectly straight challenge.
Think I can tuck my hand through it though.
Ooh, that's so unenjoyably scary.
If anyone's a local of this park,
you definitely know how wet it and slippy it gets.
It just adds to the sort of challenge really, doesn't it?
This Stitch 720 feels amazing.
I've got like way too much confidence
considering the conditions.
Finale, I'm going to back flip this beast.
Big pedal in, clean flip, ride away in excitement.
Oh, oh, I forgot that it was wet.
I almost died on that bit.
Okay, we've had such good fun this video.
That wobble bike was actually way better
in the end than I imagined.
Of course, you'd never want to ride this
for anything other than a laugh.
It was so difficult, but actually really enjoyable.
This video is not sponsored in any way.
I literally found this online, bought it,
and had a right good laugh.
I'm going to leave this in my bike collection now.
It's just ridiculous, the Oppo Penny.
So if you find any other weird bikes
you think I need to try, get them written
in the comments or message me on Insta.
See you in the next one.
