I've compiled a photo list of 20 of the weirdest bicycles, with links

Thanks for the site. I've seen the Bilenky Tandem in action and they
actually seem to make sense, because both riders have a good view of
the road.
The worst bike in the site is the tridem, which is illegal to ride in
35 states.

There's a guy who rides(?) one in Central Park. I don't know if I
think it's totally ridiculous or kind of cool to row on land.
What's worse, those long roller skates and poles that people use to
train for cross country skiing during the summer, or a rowbike?

My neighbour (around the block) has a rowbike among other strange
bikes. Google bikeforest.

Technically, you are correct although often we refer to pedal powered
vehicles in general. We don't leave out trikes and quad just because they
have more wheels. He has that seven person bike on his site which has more
than two wheels. I think that the monocycle fits.
Besides, there are some that have two wheels. The second wheel is smaller
and inside the big wheel. You pedal to turn the second wheel and the second
wheel drives the big wheel.
Whatever they are, they are pretty cool.

Jeez, how many times do I have to keep posting the following very important
message:
"Who the fuck is Ed Dolan anyway?
I can be your worst enemy or your best friend, depending on how much
intelligence you want to expend on these freaking-cycling-newsgroups (all
one word). I do not suffer fools gladly. If you will engage your intellect I
will be here for you. If all you want to do is call names, well, I will be
here for you for that also.
The subject of these newsgroups does not interest me much but what you think
about things in general does interest me. I am a cyclist of over 30 years
standing and there are damn few people on this earth who know more about
recumbent bicycles than I do.
But I am not here for any of that. I am here strictly for off-topic
discussion. If and when you want to pontificate on anything off-topic you
had better have your brain in gear because I will focus on you like a laser
beam on anything you have to say. I especially hate liberals who will not
defend this nation against its enemies. You have been warned!"

Ed Dolan the Great - Minnesota

Saint Edward the Great - Order of the Perpetual Sorrows - Minnesota

Another possible nominee: the rowbike
http://www.rowbike.com/
This is a bicycle powered by a rowing machine mechanism. I saw one of these
at the L.A.T.E. ride in Chicago a few years ago.
