My deadly (have never seen another before or since and I have no idea what happened to mine, I was a kid when I had it) looked like a regular dragster style thing but had a very high center bar (sort of the opposite to a girls bike) and the pedals out on a horizontal frame hanging off the back wheel.

All looked pretty normal but under the seat was a locking lever, unlock it and the bike had a steering head at BOTH ENDS! The one under the seat was spring loaded to come back to centre but what it let you do was rediculous. You could ride along with the front wheel going more or less in a straight line while you steered the rear wheel to ride the back of the bike side to side, or ride it along in a straight line with the front wheel and rear wheel about two feet out of line with each other but parallel. Or even crank the rear hard to one side, hold the front brake and ride the back of the bike around the front wheel in a circle!

that thing was just stupid fun! But I would probably kill myself on it if I still had it now aged forty instead of ten.
