# The Zike

Have you heard of the ZIKE?

If not, you can probably guess from the name itself who’s brainchild it is. That’s right! Our old friend, Sir Clive Sinclair is at it again! This time he is going after the bicycle market. After the C-5 electric car flopped, we all know that he went back to computers and came up with the Z88. After that, I heard he was hard at work on a parallel processor of some sort. After that, I had not heard of him until the other day while watching the Discovery Channel on one of the “what’s new” type programs.
