Making the most of a tail wind...

What could possibly go wrong?

At 32" wide it almost doubles the width of the bike so not ideal for nipping through gaps in traffic either.

A whole new set of skills to learn, I would imaging tacking on a busy road could be entertaining.

It's actually 48" wide. I had been looking at size of sails but of course there are two of them. The spar is 48"...

😎 Imagine that, twinned with a playing card, sellotaped to the front forks, just clipping the spokes! It'd sound like a motorboat 😎

I like the cut of your jib*.



* I know it doesn't have one, but don't spoil my gag.

A salutary warning...

Looks more like Hobbies(?) to me. When did that fold, or is it still going?

Edit: Hobbies seems to be online now, with an annual handbook.
That adventurous design could get really exciting in some situations - the bike appears to have no brakes!

Must be better than needing a software update.

I'd be telling folk that's my air-brake, which I need because I ride so fast.

I use a windmill on the front of the bike, connected to a generator which powers the electric motor. Unlimitted free energy forever. Of course you round earthers will say that is impossible but only because your round earth always has a gradient to overcome.

I actually was blown off my touring bike at the top of the Conor Pass in Kerry. It's not an experience I'd like to repeat.
