  1. http://www.magicwheel.co.uk/index.html

    I think this was in a photo in the last Uni Magazine, but I can't
    remember seeing anything else about it anywhere. Looks like fun
    though.

  3. So... a BC wheel with a training wheel... and a bit of a frame...

    I guess it could be fun... didn't look extremely durable... could be
    flat out scary to ride down a significant hill...

  4. No hops in their video, no sell to me 🙁

    I wouldn't buy it anyways, BC Wheel is just as easy.
