wow finally a device that makes peripheral vision useless (car turning from the right) HUH!?!?! WHERE!?!?
I find it sad that he makes the bikes geared, would be some much simpler as SS

there's a guy who has a bike here that works on the same principal as that car - but unlike the bike above you still ride it straight, it's just that it's three pieces: the front wheel/fork/bars, the center frame assembly, and the rear wheel/frame/drivetrain. it's really awesome watching him ride it. he does all kinds of silly tricks like riding the front on the curb while riding the rear on the street going parallel the whole time.

I think the guy who made them should be applauded for just trying something new. Who knows, he may just be doing this for fun. Granted this isn't any type of fun I want to be involved with, but thats just me. But he may also just be a kook who is under the influence of excessive moustache.
