A question about a Sci-Fi Movie???!
Question: I just saw, for the first time, a wonderful, eye-poppingly visual and quite intelligent sci-fi movie, called "Brainstorm"; in the film, Christopher Walken's character, at the beginning of the film, is seem rising around in a very weird, albeit cool-looking bicycle, where he almost virtually on his back, while riding the bike. My question is, is this an actual design for a bicycle, or was it made just for the movie, and if it's real, where could I possibly get something like this...

...that design of bicycle is INDEED real; it's called a 'linear recumbant' bicycle, and they have been readily available for years, though before the movie came out, they were very exclusive to be found. Here is a website, which specializes in the sales and distribution of this rather unique vehicle...
I know the bike you're talking about and yes they are real. I live in western New York and I've seen a lot of them. I don't know what they're called, but they are supposedly healthier or easier on the back.
