Reminds me of the Flinstones!

I think i've seen it a few years ago. Wonder how long would it take to learn to keep your balance.

I suspect that it wouldn't take me too long to fall flat on my face. I think there is a video of this online somewhere.

Ah yes, found it:

That video is class, I like the way the commentator is trying really hard not to laugh. I want to get a pair of legs that I need to pedal to walk.

Yea, pretty much. :P

The video makes it seem even worse, looks like way to much work to use. :P

Idiot?

I like the idea but only if there were two trips instead of one big strip...

That viseo looked like it was promoting that junk. I especially loved the comments "this is the coolest thing ever", "it's very practical", and so on. Oh yeah, this bike is the future (in circus' performances atleast).

Heh, I think I saw one of these on TV before, that's a really funny idea for a gadget, almost defeats the purpose of the whole biking thing ;).

Well, i agree with Liam, this can't be called a bike. The only application would be to draw atention (if you like to clown around)

Wow... I must say, that is the worst bike design I've ever seen, even worse than the 7 seater circular bike.

that's craziness. I would like to hear of someone who actually pays money for one of these contraptions. Can we say S-U-C-K-E-R??

When I first read the title I thought for some reason that it was about this (http://www.bikeforest.com/hulabike.php) bike.

That's seems better to buy than the treadmill bike but this one would kinda get me tired and annoyed of the bouncing..
