Yeah I don't mean to take the piss out of it, just having a laugh, it may appeal to some people but it just seems more trouble than its worth to me. That comment in the review 'ouch I've just banged my head on my bike'...

yeah saw that!

im gonna wait a bit longer and see if a 'revised' version comes out.. i can imagine it getting all ripped up on anything but fire roads around here, but good effort so far

I thought this was funny as well, about being able to fly!:
'The front wedge-shaped, in conjunction with the various flow channels of aerodynamic either the front, side and rear, provide the user of the bicycle conditions to fly!'

maybe i will get one then! come on, come flying with me bro!!

silverfish1974 (Jan 20, 2015 at 4:54)

Ahaha yeah man, imagine the speed you could go with a force 10 wind behind...that would be so much funny..

fedz (Jan 20, 2015 at 5:55)

one good gust of wind and whoosh !!! ... straight under the wheels of an artic !!

silverfish1974 (Jan 20, 2015 at 14:37)

Yeah could be dangerous if used in the wrong place, at the wrong time..or just used full stop...

pigman65 (Jan 20, 2015 at 2:53)

That looks like a proper product !

silverfish1974 (Jan 20, 2015 at 3:12)

Yeah proper rubbish, I mean I guess the idea is to stop the rain but as soon as it gets too wet your not going to be able to see where your going, combine that with a nice bit of wind and I would say you'd be in proper trouble...

Funny what they say about it too:

hey thats something i've thought about, i concluded not to try to make one! i dunno....maybe...? looks a bit goofy tho!

pigman65 (Jan 20, 2015 at 7:58)

It looks even more absurd now i'm on a bigger screen. Could be good with a tail wind !

ebikeswillruinmtb (Jan 20, 2015 at 8:22)

ha ha yes S/F said same thing! a great sail bike as long as the wind is blowing in the right direction!

Holy shit balls it's really a product they are touting? Haha I thought it was a pure piss take someone made at home haha that's mint

silverfish1974 (Jan 20, 2015 at 14:51)

Ahahah thats funny man, I'm afraid its real, no joke...

jskiff (Jan 20, 2015 at 15:00)

Defo be mint with a good tail wind, terrifying but worth a blast.

Sail-biking..... Whole new sport invented right there..... Get marketing on the case, "This time next year Rodders, we'll be millionaire"

silverfish1974 (Jan 20, 2015 at 15:05)

Hahaha yeah I can just imagine the designers saying that.."This time next year Rodders, we'll be millionaire"...

silverfish1974 (Jan 20, 2015 at 14:36)

Not sure if sarcasm or.....

jskiff (Jan 20, 2015 at 14:40)

Sarcasm..... Me...... NEVER haha

silverfish1974 (Jan 20, 2015 at 14:47)

You must buy one, will turn your bike into a flying machine providing the wind is behind you. Ain't no one gonna catch you with a bicycle umbrella...
But in my case as B.A. Baracus woukd say, I ain't getting on no plane man...

nikoniko (Jan 22, 2015 at 20:54)

hhahhahaha Brilliant! I want to take it DHing!

silverfish1974 (Jan 22, 2015 at 23:54)

Cliff jumping is where its at, 'you have wing you can fly'.....

nikoniko (Jan 23, 2015 at 8:31)

My son actually asked Santa for a flying suit for Christmas.
I showed him this and now he want to go to school flying rather than walking!
