rather cool and would but if it was actually $20. it can help those who need a form of transportation.

Looks cool but what happens when it starts raining while you're riding the bike

 

[curbsideprophet]

I read the article.

Looks pretty cool, but just like most 'outside the box' inventions, I just don't see this having much mass consumer appeal.

People will be too much like

Very cool idea.....I actually think (idealistically) something cheap, and durable as this seems to be COULD help a bit with the obesity problems we have in the States especially....some people may not be able to afford a standard bike but for 20 bucks? thats 2-3 trips to McDonalds so there isn't even a financial burden to this....hopefully this takes off but sadly I doubt it will b/c of public perception

Help the obesity problem? Would the bike even support someone 250+ pounds? (did not read article)

He should sell the idea to IKEA. I'll cop for novelty.

That's interesting...I'd buy one just to say I have it. Not sure about riding it around West Philly though...I'd get a few looks to say the least, and even worse actually might get the ************ stolen running into a corner store real quick.

EDIT: Read the article...even more fascinating than I thought. Apparently the material for the bike can be submerged in wa--you know what, if you didn't check it out, you don't deserve to know.

Anyway, this could potentially change a lot. I dig it.

If you fall riding that you can count on broken bones and paper cuts

 

[weekz]

[papageorgeo510]

I'll buy one!

 

[rico x hood]

Would cop an display.

 

[omgitswes]

I'd buy one and use at as decoration. Thing looks cool to me

 

[Kev93]

Ill buy one, but i would keep it deadstock.

 

[bombbiggidyphil]

for $20 i don't see why not

 

[carver]

Recycle a new way of riding

 

[Bert.]

it seems cool but not long lasting

well if its cheap than it doesnt matter, if it lasts at least a year id consider it a good buy then you can just spend another $20 for a new one.

 

[thadocta]

the hipsters will eat this up

 

[c hanna]

going to buy for display/fun riding. stuff like this amazes me

 

[kermitthefloer]

seems like a good/cheap idea...if you can get atleast 3 months out of it def a good investment
