Lessons From The Backwards Brain Bicycle
And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him. Genesis 5:24
In English class this semester we watched a video about a man named Destin that worked as an engineer. One of the welders who worked with him designed a bike that had backwards steering.
