Worst Product Ever
The Segway is bad enough with a range of 24 miles and a top speedof 12.5 mph. Now comes the latest bad product, the treadmill bike! Take a bike and put a treadmill on it. It is like running inside, but outside on a completely unnecessary contraption. The next invetion will be pedal powered legs. Here is a video with people using it. The funniest part is when a guy tries to take it on the bus. Notice they cut away beofre he is on the bus since it does not look like the handlebars will clear.
On the Senior Citizen Civilian Target Scale I’d say that ranks in just a few notches below a crowded Farmer’s market.
Who buys these things?
Clearly a joke. These are the people who invented the Couchbike. http://www.bikeforest.com/cb . Actually a pretty amazing site.
