Interesting. If you attached pedals and gears on and near the back wheel, you\'d would eliminate that quirky foot action, plus coaster brakes.

Wow. That appears to be the single most cumbersome, akward, hard to store, inefficient, difficult to control, and unsafe inventions I\'ve ever seen.

it\'s a shame this appears on gizmag...

Spot On BJG, Daniel,, seems useless, downhill or flat only? sheet, what do you do at the bottom of the hill? get eaten by a pack of wild dogs whilst hanging from the straps?

It looks fab! I have a setup that I use regularly. It allows me to travel at up to 25 mph suspended a few feet from the ground on two hoop-like devices. It\'s called a bicycle.

Why do I need this weird contraption when I can just fly on my bicycle?! (ex:) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cdb1M4nfhnw

I hope the ticket the cop gave them was for wasting my time and the idiocy of spending time and money on this.
There was wheel wobble at what can only be 10mph!!
Trying to run at that angle will cause some serious knee and ankle damage over a short space of time.
Perhaps Gizmag should have a new category \"Only look at these if you\'ve got nothing better to do!\"

Could be handy for returning from a very serious session Pig&Whistle - no more tripping flat on your face - no more wobbly bike and in the ditch. I think everybody concerned with man-made global-warming should ditch their motorcars and be issued one of these - get that legislated for and I\'ll join the queue for investment into this thrilling concept.

Razor saw this and NOW SELLS the standup version.

Seriously, could they now wait for April 1 , or did they submit this for April 1 of 2010?

This silly looking device might be responsible for saving lives. Hang gliding has resulted in injuries and deaths. I think that this is what Dr. Mehring had in mind when he designed it.
