I've been looking at bicycles a lot recently because I was looking for a new one. Maybe later with more time I'll try a better one. I feel like it should be possible to get a pretty good result.
High and low handlebars as well as high and low pedals (bottom bracket).
There are also compact long wheelbase, short wheelbase, trikes with either 2 wheels in the front or rear, and 4 wheelers.
I prefer high handlebars so I have an easier time pushing the bike when needed, a place to mount a speedometer, a mirror, and arm pits gets sweater with low handlebars. I've also been thrown up off the seat when I hit a hump in the road. If I was riding a low handlebar bike I'm pretty sure I would have crashed due to losing my grip on the bike.
In all seriousness, I always wanted to try one of those things. I was riding a $50 (admittedly awesome) mountain bike fixed up by the local bike co-op, so seeing the douchebags (NO OFFENSE) ride by on these made me a little sick. But because I'm poor. But also because COME ON REALLY?
No offense taken. They do have compromises, slow speed instability for the one I owned, and truthfully I prefer a mountain bike but conventional bikes are too uncomfortable for me.
If you do get the chance to try one, don't be timid. Push hard on the pedal and get some speed. It will be much easier to steer.
One of the most annoying things about riding a recumbent for me is the attention they generate. I've been pulled over by a cop because he wanted to look at the bike. One day a dipstick stopped in a crosswalk, holding up traffic, to look at the bike.
They look awesome. I have a terrible back, so my hatred was always pure envy. It seems like it'd be such a luxurious way to ride, and I love bike riding, so it might honestly be my ideal. Maybe someday.

Take some bloody notes, Michelangelo di Lodovico!
Quit drawing titties & dicks & learn some art....and bring that boy Leonardo so that he learns something as well.
Kids these days!
The main thing I noticed was the seat, which I messed up on mine, too. In reality, it would be a little more to the left, sitting down in that tube that's part of the frame (I think?), as opposed to just plopped on top. I did the exact same thing with mine, and realized my mistake after looking at everyone else's.
Luckily for me, I’m had experience on servicing a mountain bike before so that I know what a bike should look like. I could’ve done a better job by adding the disc brakes and rear derailleur. But I couldn’t be bothered to since illustrating on a phone screen is tough :/.
Really nice. After seeing all of the good ones you guys did, I think my bikes will be better in the future. Start with two triangles, bike is on the middle triangle line, etc...
The rear wheel is a free wheelprobably
Surely after making that, someone would've been like, "what if we added TWO to the back?" Right? I just mean: why was this even a thing!?
correct
For being mandatory where I live, it sure is odd literally no one decided to draw some reflectors on the spokes.
You can understand it's a bike without those. Like a stick figure, no eyes or nose are necessary for you to know what it is.
How are you holding up in Communist China?
Ah, you know, can't complain.
Maybe I'll take a vacation to the US someday and see what kind of bicycle infrastructure the worlds greatest economy can build.
This one looks French.
Mon dieu. Non.
Hon hon hon.
Damn. That actually looks like a bicycle.

The style is called Recumbent. Specifically, long wheel base above seat steering.
Aren't the handlebars usually below the seat on a recumbent bike?Edit: I stand corrected. Apparently there are a bunch of recumbent bikes with high handlebars

I like this one, because the others make me feel bad about myself.
They are super comfortable on long trips.

I just realised I drew the pedals as suspended in midair and frankly I regret nothing
This is like the lefty-facing one below combined with the Dr. Seuss guy above. This could be a way of matching partners...?
Lmao, I can't draw.
But: Now I know these comments are real people. (Or are they? 🧐)
Dr Seuss ass bike
Nice, it has a handle on top for throwing it far away ;-)
Handle? That’s the propeller.
The only way in which we will know these people are real is if they are able to draw hands perfectly
I love that this one's frame is attached directly to the tops of the tires.
Indubitably
Thinking outside the box!
I forgot the pedals...
This is crazy accurate. How many bikes must you have seen!?
I cannot prove I didnt cheat..
Also, sorry for the fat-fingered quality.
I drew this on my phone
A little bit more practice and you'll be qualified to draw the icon for bike path.
Dude. I can’t draw a bicycle while looking at it.
I was on the phone so forgive me for my terrible drawing.
Left-facing and spray-painted. Really throwing a curveball here.
I used the pencil tool on my phone.
this one in particular calls out to me
This one feels like it's in motion. It's cool.
Well, I like it.
Aww.
Here's my very sleep deprived rendition, enjoy.
I'm late, but still wanted to commend the isometric view, intentional or not. I think you're the only one that went iso on us.

On phone, by hand
the one guy in here who rides a bike
No chain, no wheel spokes, no brakes. It's your funeral, I suppose. (No offense, OP, lovely drawing. In one of the top percentiles, for sure.)
POV: The chain fell off and your face (one side of it, at least) plummet towards the dirt.
Dayum.
My version:
My gf's:
You two truly belong together.
And kids, this is why AIs halucinate things
Translation: Bicyles don't stink ... are silent
I should have used a pencil but:
I have no idea why you have downvotes. I think people were intimidated by the effort you put in by drawing on physical paper!?
Well, it is a pretty shitty rendition of a bike, maybe it's just hypercritical critics? t was a nice prompt though, thanks. Good break for a workday.
Thanks, my favorite is still whoever came up with "Draw Vin Diesel from memory."
So impressively close.
...yet so far.
Are you talking about the handlebars? I think I drew them backwards lol
