Prone bicycle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Prone bike)
A prone bicycle is a bicycle which places the rider in a prone position. The bottom bracket is located at the bicycle's rear, the rider lies either on a pad or in a hard-shell seat. The prone position of the rider's body can reduce aerodynamic drag and therefore increase the efficiency of the vehicle. It could also be more comfortable or ergonomic than other bicycles.
The first prone bicycle was developed and marketed by the American company Darling in 1897.
Most prone bicycles are do-it-yourself constructions. There are few series-production models.
