That is one nightmarish contraption, but the possibilities for fun with all the joggers/skaters/dog walkers/etc. who ignore the "bikes only" signs on bike paths are abundant.

Gotta love the duct tape holding the probably solid tires onto the rim

I have no idea how the inventor thinks he can get an average person to pedal that thing up to 50 MPH...the physics just don't seem to work.

Really , I would love to see that yellow piece of crap go down one descent. There's no way anything that weird could survive. The bicycle is the perfect invention, you bunch of freaks.

Looks like he's gained a few pounds. It's called a 92er I think. :rolleyes:

Those sled-like wheels could roll over anything! I bet you could get up some speeds on those hoops! Forget the hills, though.

"Crawling 50 MPH"

How do you crawl at 50 MPH and how could that possibly be stable at that speed?

Did you notice on the video that the front wheel lifted just riding through the parking lot. He was struggling just to remain in an upright position and not flip over backwards.

Yeah, that thing is crazy unstable

I did see a guy one time riding down the street on a regular frame bike that had hand pedals as well as regular pedals. So two chainrings, etc. I heard from someone who talked to that guy that he claimed he could maintain 40mph. And that it had a crazy number of gears.
It is interesting that the video shows people barely able to handle the thing and not going all that fast.
The chicks all look like something out of really low budget 80's sci-fi movies. hiring them as models must be where all his R&D money goes.

First and most important: I like the chick. I'd hit it.

Second, that thing is ridiculous. How much do you think it weighs? 50, 60 pounds? How do you transport it anywhere, in a pickup truck? Where would you ride it? It's too wide for a bike trail, even taking up both lanes, so I assume you have to ride it on the street? How's the handling and braking?

Lame.

Lame.

I think it's the worlds first upright recumbant! And it weighs 200lbs! Where do you park the thing? You need a whole other parking space just to store it. I love the quotes section too. http://www.hyperbike.info/truehype.aspx

"Wow. You've invented something here."
"It's strange not to have your feet connected to each other."
"It's a challenge to keep your head up."
"It's very stable, esp. when you keep your head up."

I take all my fitness advice from puppeteers and attorneys :rolleyes: He's got a long way to go if these quotes are good enough to be posted on his site.

Nice ponytail. I bet he wears organic hemp socks and is a vegan.

Absolute Piece of crap. A bicycle is a simple, elegant machine. I hate it when idiots try to reinvent it. This reminds of an infomercial I saw years ago and that dork Tony Little was trying to sell a bike that you pedal with your hands and feet at the same time. Does anyone remember that?

Don't think so. It wasn't stationary It was an actual bike. Probably based off of the Gazelle I'm sure.
