OMG WTF? Very serious sweaty lady not included. HyperBike: Hype or Hope?
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I')s your first instinct that this is not a means of transportation but an exercise device that will soon be relegated to the ranks of many other gut-busting fads? Then ask yourself this: what would the inventor of the horse saddle have thought about a bicycle? Drop your prejudices and hesitations for a second, and give Curtis DeForest some credit for thinking outside the box. DeForest recognizes that major drawbacks of the modern bicycle include the exposure of the rider to accidents and the limited speeds which the average cyclist can maintain. The conventional bike places the weight of the rider above the wheels' spinning axis, an inherently unstable situation (as any cyclist forced to stop fast well knows). Also, conventional bikes use only leg-power, carrying the upper torso as dead weight. And did someone mention saddle-sores? HyperBike solves all those problems. And there is more to come, as this creative inventor's vision will get a boost from the NASA funded Space Alliance Technology Outreach Program in the development of the next model.
