I would too, but I'll have mine with the fork on the right way. Wait!! A mini-stayer? For drafting RC cars?

If you flip a riser bar upside down, it becomes aero, which makes you really fast. The best part? You don't even have to readjust the brake lever!

No offense to the artist(s), but how about a $2000 PureFix?

So probably the rider is just an idiot and didn't tighten his bolts.

This could be a good idea but the geometry is jackass.
The pedals are too far back and the guy's genitals can't be happy. The way he is pedaling looks comical at times.

Yeah, I'll say no too. That thing is cymply ridiculous.
It can't be comfortable. And it's probably unstable at anything above a walking speed. Notice that in the video he just rides around in circles, doing tricks in tiny parking lots and sidewalks? Because that's all it's good for.
Another novelty design experiment, built just to explore what's possible, but with no gains in practicality, performance, or any other area useful in the real world.
The virtues of that silly toy, according to its inventor, are things like simplicity, conversation starting, easy storage and portability... in other words, all the things any unicycle has going for it, but this is bigger, heavier, and more expensive, and it needs twice as many tires.

But can you imagine going down a hill at 35 mph?
