Learning to ride a bike just got easier, because with Tom Hambrock and Juri Spetter's new invention, you won't even have to worry about pedals. The pedal-less bicycle is the latest in 'why didn't I think of that, oh yeah because it looks stupid' inventions.

Bearing in mind there is a height restriction (suitable for people around 6 ft), don't expect to see Dads gushing over kids and their first pedal-less bike any time soon.

Coming soon the invisible pedal-less bike... it's called running.
