Because his next door neighbor already has a pink aerospoke fixie and
the guy on the other side has a tallbike?

Dear Dave,

Weird, yes, but that treadmill bicycle may also be a new idea.

Usually there's a century-old example of the latest bicycle
technology, but that thing shakes my faith.

The closest old bike that I can think of is an upright 1923 no-seat
treadle-drive intended to mimic running, but it's not a belt-style
treadmill:

Details near the bottom:
http://www.crazyguyonabike.com/doc/page/?o=3Tzut&page_id=40622&v=9C

Again, this may be a brand-new bicycle-drive:

I feel like Dr. Frankenstein staring at a bolt in a hardware store and
realizing that no one had ever used one for neck-ware:

I see that thing go past my door several times every summer. Bicycle
forest is just around the corner from me in Waterloo.

What would really impress me would be a set of rollers connected to
mechanical legs so that I could ride my bike on it and it would then run

Does Natasha (the driver in the video) come included in the rental?

Dear DB,

Whew! Now we're back to familiar drive trains from the 1890s:

Sorry, but that is just about the stupidest redundant "invention" I've seen,
about as bad as the sideways bike.

This is probably the most established and successful builder of rowing
bicycles: <http://www.rowingbike.com/main.php>.

Cute seat cover not included.

I think you missed the point. The treadmill bicycle is not supposed to
be better than other bicycles - it is fun because it is weird and silly.

I thought you said _road_ bike.
