Just taught my 6yo daughter to ride without stabilisers - maybe I should get her one of these?

Don't bother, they are rubbish, may as well use a lolly stick and a rubber band like the rest of us.

The turbospoke thing was at the International Cycle Show in Islington. As offspring & I walked by
the stand, offspring said - look at those - won't do the aerodynamics any good when I'm racing. I
went into "Concerned Matron Of The Parish" mode and loudly moaned about how the last thing I want to
hear when I'm out would be the god-awful noise of one of those things.

Cheers, helen s

You clearly had a deprived childhood if you never enjoyed the pleasures of a cigarette card &
clothes peg "motorbike"

We used to fold the plastic mudguard under itself so would get the noise from the tyre not the
spokes - would wreck the mudgaurd tough.

I wonder how broad the patent is - perhaps your cigarette packet days are over. It seems so unusual
to me that "patented" is seen to imply "really wonderful" and is touted by marketroids on all sorts.
The more patents it has, the better it must be. I wonder if the cigarette packet counts as prior
art, or if you have to find an example of a kid using a bean can or something to amplify it.

Dear DC Mick Andrews

I think I might know the identity of the person who mugged that poor lady going Christmas shopping
on her bike .......

Lads First post.

I was looking about for this turbospoke thing and came accross yourselves talking about it, so here is my twopence worth.

I had the pleasure of being given 1 of these at the bike show and I can say they are the biggest load of crap ever. I laugh at this patented thing. Its not as if it hasn't being done before.

The thing won't fit for started they admit that themselves and you get more noise out of a dead corpse.

I'm thinking of setting up my own website about this thing as its a con job. So I'll be back with the details.
