A new brand known as Bird of Prey is making a remarkable innovation in the bicycle design. Instead of laying sitting up, the Bird of Prey Bicycle places bikers in a Superman style driving posture. This position enables riders to quickly observe the road the ahead, and yet providing many favorable elements–like enhanced aerodynamics and a reduced center of gravity.
While riding, the hip area is reinforced by soft leather supports, as the elbows are secured into aero bars. It is presumably a benefit for cyclists with back issues, as this position will not tighten the spine like standard sit down bicycles.
On top of that, it puts you in the same position as swimmers, enabling you to push much easier on the pedals as if you are moving with legs fully extended.
