Looks extremely uncomfortable to me, and going uphill must be a special treat.

I Hope those pelvic straps are really well padded!
Is it me or is that thing lacking any suspension at all! 🐛 :lol: :ahhh:

Ok, it's a Dilbert's answer to the velocipede and they've been around since the 19th century.

Shock absorption is achieved through the frame design being an arc. It has inherent flexibility not desired in a conventional frame.
The harness straps provide additional suspension.
