    Completely pointless, and looks like it was made by an 11 year old for a school project, and will probably fall apart pretty quickly.

    Nice idea in principle, can't seeing it being particularly useful in practice. At least whoever it is trying something different. Maybe their next idea will be the one we all go why didn't I think of that.
    It's easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission.

    I've bought a new bike....ouch - result
    Can I buy a new bike?...No - no result

    Doesn't seem a bad idea tbh, they are only ment to be used when cleaning your bike.

    Lubed/sprayed my discs and pads many of times on accident :oops:
