The Bodysail apparently only works on left hand drive bicycles.

there is a lot of material for what could go wrong in old Popular Mechanics, Mechanics Illustrated, plans

Funny this discussion is happening at the same time the "Made" show is going on in Portland, OR. Seems like this might be the "new" Interbike.

I tried to ride one once, not my cup of tea. |

At one time there were bicycle trade shows, and I attended them. I always made it a point to collect the literature of the goofiest, most dangerous, or otherwise ridiculous products on offer. I thought I would take this opportunity to share my stash, and encourage others to share their own.
Let's start with the Surf Bike. This is so safe, no helmet is even required. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...ce9af72ac8.jpg |

Be sure to check out the side panel showing pix recommending use on Watercraft and Barstools and Saddles.

I've biked a couple times with my pooch, with the leash strapped around my waist. It was a ...thrill to be towed over 20mph on pavement but finagling the leash so it doesn't catch on the bars or controls was nerve-wracking. |

Looking thru very old bike literature for crazy duds - I found the handwritten notes and tube selection from Jon on my Tallerico custom build. THANKS. :). Also, a paper map from SCCC (i think) with the mountain roads I traveled back in the day in the Santa Cruz Mts (Bonny Doon, Zayante, Felton - Empire Grade, Mt Charlie, etc)
Nothing up to the standard of this thread, just some disappointing products. |

And not competitive. There was a learning curve for all of us. And maybe 3 crashes. |

OK so here we go, a conventional crank that that turns an electric generator, that charges a battery which in turn drives a motor and then it drives the wheel... no appreciable benefit but sells for $3000. no need to charge it up at night... we are saving the planet!!!
