Windy Wheels



I don't think this was ever actually produced, but looking at the designs, it's clear it should've been. The concept is simple enough: We used wind 100s of years ago to sail, now the time has come to the bike.

This invention seems to be made for people who aim to go with the wind. For the rest of us, it is clear that there are many disadvantages with this invention. The most obvious one is that side wind might just cause you to smash into the ground. Another is that if you do catch a strong strong gust of wind, you might just run out of options of how to stop your bike. I suggest you ram something!

I have to say that this one looks like a lot of fun. And potentially a lot of pain.

Motorized Surfboard



Is it a boat? Is it a fish? No, it's a motorized surfboard!!

This invention seems to fall between two things I may want: a regular surfboard and a boat. A boat keeps you dry, while a surfboard can be fun. This surfboard probably gets you bored and wet. Great work, genius!

Got no Bike? Become One!



Know the feeling when you thought you should've brought a bike but didn't? The guy who came up with this invention offers a solution to those situations: You simply become the bike! Sure, you may need to bring some parts with you, but it looks easy, doesn't it?

Once you get down, gravity seems to be the thing that you gotta hope will do the job. That means that going downhill is the ideal thing. If it goes too fast, you have brakes, but you better hope your legs are strong enough, because you need to squeeze your knees together to use them! The guy who made this thought of everything!

I recommend using as much body armor as possible, however, because if you ever fall using this invention, you're going down. There's no bailing out! To those who wants to mass produce this, be sure to print warning stickers!

While I cannot help but think that this looks kinda dangerous, I am still sure that Tour de France would become much more interesting if everyone simply became their own bike. Now that I would watch - drugged or not!
