Furthermore... can you imagine how many different sizes this thing would need to be offered in? How much seatpost do you need showing for the pivot-and-lock-to-wheel concept to work? What do you do about people with a only fistful of seatpost showing?
I'd love to hear what his jury thought of this idea.

"Half-baked" is the term I'd like to use for some of this guy's stuff.
