    A DUBLIN INVENTOR will be plugging his invention on TV next weekend in
    a bid to win £100,000.
    Michael Killian, inventor of the Sideways Bike, will pitch his
    invention to the audience on Sky One's The Big Idea showing on Saturday
    November 18 at 9pm on Sky One.
    The Big Idea is an exciting new prime-time series on Sky One which, in
    partnership with Vodafone, is aiming to discover the next great
    British/Irish invention or business idea. The audience will decide if
    the Sideways Bike, the first new bicycle invention in over 200 years,
    is the next Big Idea.
    The 47-year-old, who beat hundreds of competitors to make it to the
    final 36, is up against five other inventors.
    continued...
    In order to get to the semi-final he had to pitch his idea to three
    entrepreneurs in two minutes.
    All three experts, Ruth Badger, a finalist on BBC 2's The Apprentice,
    Lord Karan Bilimoria of Cobra Beer fame and Craig Johnston, who
    invented the Predator football boot, put him on the shortlisted 36.

    At least cyclists will now have a reasonable excuse for
    going straight through red lights now ("I can't see
    anything to the right!") rather than thinking they don't
    actually apply to them.

    That looks like a quick way to end up in A&E.

  13. The Motorcycle is a DEVELOPMENT that transpired after the INVENTION of
    the Bicycle.
    Without the invention of the bicycle there cannot be a motorcycle.

    This Sideways Bike thing seems like an invention that motorcycle people
    could develope on. ?

    When you learn to write like a normal person, you might consider doing
    so.

    Look, retard, you've already posted it once and it's a completely
    fucking stupid idea. We're not fucking interested, OK?

    And a fucking top-poster too. What a surprise.

    arse.
