In this day and age of convergence (MP3 player and phone?), I guess it sort of makes sense. But I don’t see the benefits, really, of the treadmill bike. Can someone enlighten me?

That explains those Nike bike walking shoes.
Hmm. Did you read all the ad copy and watch the “sweet jumps” video?
It’s a (very funny) joke, I think.
You have to read the couch bike story. Its funny! These guys are unique, that’s for sure! Definitely check out the hula bike and the couch bike.. Obviously.. its the weekend, or I’d never take the time to read it all!!
Speaking of “what were they thinking,” I’ve got a video of some nitwit kid trying to launch a bottle rocket out of his, uh, rear launching pad. I won’t put it on the site, but if you’ve seen it, you’ll understand that people will trying anything.
Forrest Gump is right: Stupid is as stupid does.
Ok, I’m still not gettin it…..so why can’t you just ride a bike??? A regular bike that is….I must say…I don’t get it.
The Treadmill Bike is definitely a joke. These guys towed a canoe behind their bike half way across Alberta. That sort of physical feat is not consistent with Treadmill Bike features such as: “The Treadmill Bike’s hard wearing belt offers a sure grip while protecting your feet from dirt and other contaminants commonly found on the earth’s surface.”
It seems to me, they are poking fun at a society where people drive their cars only to walk on a treadmill at the gym.
As others have said, check out the rest of that site. The Bicycle Forest is brilliant!
Yeah, I checked out the “sweet jumps” video. Jeez.
After researching the Segway for class, I was willing to give these guys the benefit of the doubt.
Maybe it’s for runners who can’t run as fast as they want to go?
