Apologies if you have seen this already but I only just came across this for sale on ebay

Imagine taking this to work everyday! You'll look like Superman within a few weeks!

Have a look at the video on the homepage!

Where the HELL does that fit in the Food Chain??????

Agree with the sentiment of body fitness though - do they have gears and the like?

This one on ebay looks like it does

Am so tempted to buy it as its from my neck of the woods.

Would be so cool!

WTF :shock: :shock: :shock: I'd never make the commute on that, it'd kill me, and I'd look like Arnie after 6 months :?

The mechanism looks pretty low as well, I'd hate to go over a speed hump on it :shock:

Where's the FS version?

Looks class and good fun.

Im thinking about what sort of speeds they could do on a cycling track.

Do you think they could be single speeded.

As for the food chain, maybe under recumbent.........

I'd love one of those...

pity in the vids the guys are rowing atrociously... It's make for some great land training sessions for my rowers!!!!!

The technique is chronic, think they found cyclist who might have sat in a boat certainly not rowers who have sat on a bike.

I think it would be fine on a closed circuit in the dark with no one around

Well I must say that I was heartened to see that even rowbike nutters have realised that panniers are the answer.

Something about the thrusting motion of the riders reminded me of this:

They are all missing water.

There's not enough range of motion in the slide and the pivot ensures that they will all dig the blade in.

Precisely how are you supposed to indicate, by the way?

ride_whenever

outside arm only perhaps...

Yeah, that really has very little clearance! :shock:

However, this has now been added to my 'things I'd like a go on but don't want to buy' list...

EDIT: along with this: http://www.popularmechanics.com/blogs/o ... 16019.html

+1, I didn't think you make anything more ridiculous than a recumbant, and then this was posted

Is that Wonder Woman down the page a bit? :shock:

I am put off purely because this was on Something For the Weekend and Tim *spit* Lovejoy rode about on one...
