Be The Bike
Odd invention for downhill adrenaline junkies. It would be much like a street luge but look more embarrassing. Instead of guys lying flat on their backs, they will be in this position with fanny packs. My daughter would think this is taking the “pony” ride to a new level.
If you still think this may be a good idea then the next line will change your mind.
There are no motors so gravity is your go juice and to activate the rear brakes you need to squeeze your knees together like a mobile ThighMaster. Your legs are strapped to the rear gear so there’s no bailing out but there is a fender to fend off fanny friction should you sit too low.
It looks like another one of those that is best left on the drawing board.
Oooooh. Looks like fun.
This thing brings back memories. When I was a kid in the ’70s, my mom had an exercise wheel that looked just like the front part of this contraption (I think you were supposed to roll it out and back to work your stomach muscles). My sister and I used to kneel on my skate board and hold the wheel out front just like this to roll down our driveway. It wasn’t always easy. The hardest part was keeping the two parts spaced somewhat equally apart as they had very different rolling resistances. Also, the wheel had a hard plastic tire with a square profile, so the smallest pebble would stop it immediately. Yep, good times.
