New invention to change the world's view of transportation
I only watched the first bit of the vid. It does look like a fun alternative for cruising around the beach front or bike path. I wonder what a high speed ejection would be like, especially if you come to a sudden stop from hitting a curb or pot hole. Helmets or other body armour recomended? -- UniBrier Steve Hop Drop & Roll “If something is to hard to do, then it's not worth doing.

New invention to change the world's view of transportation
Looks really fun actually, but I doubt their assertion that it's the most mentally stimulating form of exercise: surely that has to be a unicycle?! -- mark williamson Dave: Just a question. What use is a unicyle with no seat? And no pedals! Mark: To answer a question with a question: What use is a skateboard? Dave: Skateboards have wheels.

New invention to change the world's view of transportation
The world is being changed! I'm selling my truck right now for that thing. Really though it does look a little fun, but not as cool as a unicycle. My wife would like it I'm sure.

New invention to change the world's view of transportation
I'm still waiting for the affordable Segway. That revolution is just around the corner.... This device, clearly, from watching the first 30 sec. of the video, is not intended as a transportation device. It's a workout device made for outside. So transportation is a side benefit of your workout. That's a nice improvement over staring at the same wall every time you work out, but if you want to go somewhere a bike will be faster/more efficient. It probably burns more calories than a unicycle though, because you can't sit down and it looks like there's more friction between the drivetrain and the three small wheels. -- johnfoss John Foss Email: "jfoss" at "unicycling.com" -- www.unicycling.com ----------------------------------------------- Man with broken collar bone say: "Have you checked your shoelaces lately?" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ johnfoss's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/832 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/67156 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

Not for myself but I think my wife would like it as an alternative to her short bike rides, definitely takes more effort. -- rem48 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rem48's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/15538 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/67156 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

New invention to change the world's view of transportation
But what is the point?!?! Seriously! All of these new inventions are just so random and stupid, and have no real logic. They are sensationalised and are there for one reason; to make money for the producer. re the treadmill bike, it has obviously been discussed in that other thread but what's the difference between running on the, and running on the ground? Other than the fact you go slower on the bike. And therefore you may as well go on a running machine, or run to where you want to depending on what purppose you have. -- jamessd http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCsb3y-YOSk Add me, but tel me who you are  :Kieron wrote: I tell u wat they would have to be a very commited pedo to learn to ride a unicycle in order to mingle with us, steel one of us and rape us in a bush. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jamessd's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/15102 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/67156 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

The difference is in impact level (it is easier on your joints than running). People will buy this for the same two reasons some people ride unicycles - it is fun to do and easier on your joints. I would far rather go for a ride on a street strider than a run. Everybody is different though and it will obviously not appeal to everyone. -- peter.bier -Peter Bier ------------------------------------------------------------------------ peter.bier's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/1506 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/67156 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com
