Many technological developments in recent years have completely changed the way we interact, live, and work. These innovations, which range from the creation of artificial intelligence to the widespread application of blockchain technology, have completely changed the world in ways we could never have imagined.
The world is now a better place thanks to these technological developments. Scientists are continually creating, investigating, and discovering new technologies to replace antiquated ones as they spread over the globe.

In light of this, engineer Sergii Gordieiev has developed a novel bicycle design with square wheels rather than circular ones. Sergii is well known for running the cutting-edge and technologically adept Q YouTube channel.
Ever heard of a cycle with square wheels?
A Twitter user named Massimo shared a video on Twitter showcasing a remarkable innovation by the associate members of Q: a bicycle with a revolutionary design featuring square wheels. The unique bicycle, despite its unconventional appearance, can make rapid turns with remarkable ease without the traditional round wheels commonly seen on bicycles. Taking to Twitter, he wrote,
How The Q created a bike with fully working square wheels (capable of making turns).

The fascinating video shows a black bicycle that almost seems ordinary; the only thing that sets it apart is the square-shaped wheels. Unbelievably, the bicycle moved ahead rather smoothly when one of the Q members climbed on it and began paddling, much to the surprise of the Twitterati.
Q also posted the entire video of the prototype bicycle on their YouTube account. The team was building the wheel frames, as seen in the video, by connecting metal poles to make a square. Later, to enhance the model’s aesthetics, spokes were added. Before the rider, who was previously seen in the Twitter video, steps onto the craft and paddles forward, a standard bike frame is attached to the wheels.

Netizens find it hard to digest the invention
The video has received a lot of attention from internet users since the Twitter tweet was uploaded, with some expressing awe at the inventiveness and engineering required.
However, others have noted that while square-wheeled bicycles may be a remarkable achievement, they fall short of other ground-breaking historical breakthroughs.
actually that’s not really square wheels in the general sense they are square frames with tracks. Sorry, but that’s definitely doesn’t add up to square wheels. Anyway, it’s funny and throws you for a loop for a second. That was the original intention of the invention. 😂
