a nice list of unique bikes:

Here you can find carbon composite and bamboo MTB and road frames and few new components I made for bicycles and some other stuff and photos. http://www.bmeres.com/index.htm

The Bicycle Forest aims to promote bicycles and other human powered vehicles as a viable form of transportation. Through renting out a large diversity of well maintained human powered vehicles from manufacturers all over the world, we hope to give people a taste of the various options currently available. http://www.bikeforest.com/

build your own bikes, trikes and electric scooters from our downloadable plans! Our plans are made for everyone, from beginners to novice builders.http://www.atomiczombie.com/

Human-powered vehicles have been designed for virtually every form of transportation, be it on land, on the sea, or in the air. Locomotion powered by human energy is still relied upon daily in many cultures, while industrialized nations have developed human-powered products in primarily the toy, sport, and exercise marketplace. http://www.artcenter.edu/exhibit/anthro/anthrorv.html
