oh man, i always wanted one of those... (but in that not-
really kind of way) I ride in the rain, but i think if i
had one of those, I would ride INSIDE in the rain while
watching TV.

How much do they want for it?

I think it's quite funny that it apparently has a unicycle
seat and puts you in a unicycling (as opposed to bicycling)
body position. I wonder who they're marketing it toward?

I don't think it will catch on. I've seen them before, a few
years ago so this may not be a new design. Though there may
be some appeal for people with tiny apartments (like almost
everyone in Hong Kong), the riding position is pretty lame
from a bicycling point (or comfort) of view.

Our old friend Sendhair bought one of those. See 'this
thread' (tinyurl.com2gmhgOpen ↗). In Sendhair's thread
there's a 'link' (national-national-Open ↗
hk.com/epromotion.asp?id=16) to a Hong Kong site that
sells them.

And here's a resized photo:

Well the site says HK$2480 so that's about.... 220-230
pounds.... I can think of better things to spand that on,
I'll have a look in the shopping centre again if they are
still there and see how much they're asking. I tried riding
one and its kind of strange, though the seat was really low
and I was too lezy to adjust it so that added to the
strangeness. The seat seems pretty decent. I'm not sure if
you can adjust the difficulty settings etc, but I'll play
around and maybe take some photos. They were marketing it as
a balance enhancing product. Some poor guy had to ride one
all day just about and seemed so relieved when anybody
checked one out as he could leap off and try and make the
sale, before returning to his pedalling!

Just notcied you're from Bellevue Mr Childs, strangley
enough I just escorted my aunt and uncle to the airport to
go back to that very place!

Bicycle seats are not designed for prolonged, upright, "no
hands" riding. Several years ago I was doing some indoor
spinning on my road bike with the stationary trainer. I took
an extended phone call and sat up in the "no hands" position
for quite a while and kept pedaling during the conversation.
It wasn't until after I hung up that I realized I was numb
from about my navel to my knees. I would have gladly had a
uni seat instead of my roadie seat that particular
evening.:eek:

in danger, it runs or crouches to hide.
