The Pedersen bicycle, also called the Dursley Pedersen bicycle is a bicycle that was developed by Danish inventor Mikael Pedersen and produced in the English town of Dursley.[1][2] Though never hugely popular, they enjoy a devoted following and are still produced today.[3] Their unusual frame is described as pure cross,[4] was marketed as cantilever,[5] and features a distinctive hammock-style saddle. Variations include lightweight racing, tandem, and folding designs.[6][7] Other Pedersen innovations include two and three-speed internally geared rear hubs.[3]
