I think this was posted a couple of weeks early and a few days late, right? April 1st was Sunday.
Insane, but in a funny way.

Yeah, the design/marketing school ones are annoying for sure. "What need, that you don't currently have, can I convince you that my design solves?"
The only "problem" I see is inattentive drivers and newbies who don't realize "HTFU" solves nearly everything.

Sort of reminds me of Arthur, from The Tick.

Bummer. All sold out.
Not clear if they come with antennae or not. As a side benefit, they may help prevent endos for those who lack front brake modulation skills.
My kids are already embarrassed about their cycling tight wearing father. Imagine if I were to deploy one of these babies after riding with them to school.
In reality I think they'd have the opposite of their intended effect. People would step out in front of the dude just to see the wings pop out. Then they'd have to be re-packed each time. It would take forever to get to work.
