Long time readers will know that I passionately follow bicycle racing [*]. Today over at The Chemistry Blog, I have a guest post there where you get to see what I think about when I see a bicyclic molecule. Just a hint of what you'll find: when I raced bicycles, I was involved in lots of crashes that busted open lots of wheels. I'm not racing anymore, but I'm still thinking about busting open wheels and other circular objects.
Everything flows, but only the macromolecules are worth the time.

I will add your beautiful molecular bicycle :-) to the molecular basket, molecular rotor, molecular wheel on an axis, and molecular two links of a chain (catenate) [1].
