Weird bikes with no seats

I saw a load of kids waiting for a train at Victoria the other day with these strange bikes which don’t seem to have any seats.

Is this new the bike fashion which I’ve somehow missed, or are these some crazy racing bikes, or what? And how do you sit down on them?

    Pretty certain they’re bike trial bikes, for riding up walls, over obstacles, along railings etc.
    You sit down afterwards.

    OMG YOU FUCKING N000B DO YOU NOT KNOW ANYTHING! god! racing bikes lyk what were you even thinking! do they really look like they would travel at speed above 10mph! i mean really its obvious, they have a tiny chainring! do you not now of ratios!, and secondly they have no seats as seats would get in the way! sitting down is for cross country riders and road. Im just sick and tired of people like you simply judging something before you know what it is! calling us “weird” or “crazy”, well maybe you should just take one good look in the mirror and dont complain when people are pointing there fingers at you!

    they are trials bikes and are not some new thing out in america, they have been around for years. it is not a new craze, it is just a different style of riding that has been around for years.

    i totally agree with james and mr james.c. are you fucking dumb. they have probably been around sice not long after trials motorbiking was huge. they may look different then and still do now but just fuck off!!! and yes they help with trials but i also hate everyone saying its easy because the bike does all the work… NOT TRUE!!!!!

    someone would bee so dumb that they thonk that is racing bikes. Bycikling isnt all about getting around dumbass.

    I want one of that trial bike too, but I never saw them in market anywhere. I like to paddle above the seat, just holding my weight in the air and paddling like crazy. Which is SO much fun!

    You guys need to chill out, he wasn’t insulting the sport at all, the average person has no idea what trials is, don’t be such dicks. It hasn’t been around for centuries, bicycles have barely been around for two centuries. Chill the fuck out.
