Body Sail

Is it just me, or does this guy look a little out of control? Note that in the largest photo, the negative has been reversed so the brand name reads correctly through the sail, but it puts the cranks on the wrong side of the bike. Could he have picked a cheesier bicycle to use for his demonstration?

Bikes: Catrike 559 I own some others but they don't get ridden very much.

And no helmet. I'm thinking that a suggen gust of wind could make that real interesting.

That would be ok Till he gets a cross wind

I did a ride with a Placard on the back of the bike measuring 3' X 2'. It was uncontrollable.

I think it might go over with the wind surfing crowd. I'd be a bit too old to try this. Old bone get brittle.
