    Blimey. I note that the vid is from 2012. In the last 4 years I have seen precisely none of those.

    Disc brakes on a bike that probably only does about 10 miles per hour on flat ground ...FAIL 
    No triangulation what so ever for frame strength and frame stability at speed ...FAIL
    No apparent means for the rider to stabilize their body while coasting due to not having a proper place to anchor their feet in a balanced  position for their whole body weight ...FAIL
    No fricking seat ? plus having to wear a harness that wraps "the boys up "in a nylon wedgie jail ....nope I'll pass ....
     
    Every thing that makes a bicycle Cool in the first place , this thing tried to eliminate 
     
    On the day after Christmas if you found a huffy in a dumpster because Santa brought a child a new bike , you would still have something w the huffy this thing simply does not have
    A traditional bicycle has the ability to multiply and convert the energy of the legs of the rider to give a much greater output of energy transference this means a person can ride all day and not get too tired if they keep the ride safely within their limits and ability's...  
    Also a trad cycle  can conquer gravity by going up and down hills of light to  moderate grades ....

    To clarify; I like that!  A colourful, joyous velocipede to ride, employing correctly evolved engineering which is not designed to break your neck &/or cause chronic back pain.  I just hope that she's brought a little scoop and plastic bags for all the magic unicorn sh*t.

    Why? Oh yea. To get people to notice you. My bike is different. OK.
     
    I laughed near the end where he approaches some people. He's all hunched over talking to them. That has got to feel awkward.

    That's incredible.
     
    It just needs some bright spark to lower the crossbar, add some brakes, pedals and a chain and it would be perfick.
