The new urban trasport, the treadmill bike!

I found this pretty funny.

It is most amusing is that the belt appears to be geared 1:1 with the ground.

id rather be unicycling.

Ahaha, if it were a real product (I sort of doubt it is - look at that price tag) I would have purchased it purely for their marketing and “sweet jumps” video.

Can I get one with a TV display?
Wouldn’t want to miss Oprah.

They are definately aliens.

I noticed that.

And I thought that the whole point of a treadmill was so that you could stay indoors.

If you want a treadmill outdoors, then why not just go on a walk?
But yeah, very interesting. I’ll stick with my uni though. :stuck_out_tongue:

The “sweet jumps” movie was so funny.:smiley:

I’d like to see them try that section while riding a unicycle on that contraption

That looks like SO MUCH FUN though completely and entirely impractical.
But HELLA FUN!!!

i actually thought the other day while running, “What would it be like if you combined the treadmill with the bike…” Pretty cool…

Somehow, i don’t think the bus driver would find that ‘practical’ for carrying it on a bus…maybe its me.

:thinking: It could be worse, how would you take with you, if you were going away for the weekend?? :thinking:

Also how the heck am i supposed to do bunnyhops, unispins and coastings on that?? :smiley: :smiley:

HAHAHA… thanks for sharing. I find this VERY amusing. It looks like more effort to move the bike than it would be just to run. I would love to see someone on one of these in real life.

They need a Treadmill Trike version with two wheels in the back. Then you wouldn’t have to worry about that pesky balance issue and you’d be able to come to a complete stop without dismounting. Slow speed control would also be improved.

And think of the possibilities for going for a run during a rain without getting your feet soaked in puddles. Amazingly practical.

I like how it says:

“Today’s urban landscape is increasingly dominated by large SUV’s and multilane roadways.”

Yet that thing is like the SUV of bicycles. No, the Semi truck of bicycles. What a monstrosity.

If not semi truck then it this behemoth of bicycles. :smiley:

did you see the price tag on it??

Yep. :smiley: :smiley:

I found that bit odd too
