Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

All you need now is a water squirter to splash your face and you can do a triathlon in one event.

With the way those legs were moving, it looks like an elliptical machine for the road.

While a grown up version of a Skuut bike would make some sense....that thing looks like the South Park 'It Bike'.

It's not as stupid as a Segway...

It seems that you could seriously do some real damage to your private collection on that.

With a top tube like that it seems it would be very difficult to shoulder. I think that's a deal breaker.

The GlideCycle...it makes even championship bike racers look like middle-aged endomorphic ****** dorks with short, pudgy legs.

You're thinking about doing 'cross, huh?

I'll bet bunny hopping it is totally out of the question. I'd like to see some footage from a muddy run. That would be a hoot!

I hate to say though, coasting pegged this. A triathlon in one act is a lot better idea than the way it's done currently.

I think this should go into the dictionary next to the word, 'Wonky'.
