My favorite parts of the video are the cows and the take off.

My favourite parts are when they refer to it as a unique flying bicycle.

Yeah, it's actually a trike

I've seen some old popular mechanics from the 50's where they have prototype flying cars. Many people expected that it was the next step in personal transportation but it never came to pass.

I suppose flying bikes of this sort are not really commuting related but if you have a long commute and live out in the country...

My favorite part was when the cows were very interested in the "bicycle."
