Everyone claiming that this is a lazy person's bike is backwards thinking and ignorant. This is a future hybrid bike solution not a "lazy" invention. With the acceptance and use of this, more and more people will use bikes. When the automobile came out, people said it was the lazy person's horse carriage. Don't be ignorant and fight technology, embrace it.

First thought it would charge your phone :D

Wow, Andy really went all out when making a new ad for this!

awesome, thank you! this inspires me to work towards getting rid of my car. cars are good when you need to move large things, or if you're disabled, or in harsh weather, but otherwise bikes can do the job.

Great for those of us who are getting older and suffering from back issues. Will allow us to ride hills with less effort and be able to continue the sport that we love.

Great idea for biking to/from work, where the emphasis is on green commuting more-so than the fitness aspects, and yet you still get to do some of the work. Love it!

Every wheel comes with a free pair of lensless glasses and a handlebar mustache.

These people are going to make a fortune and they deserve every penny they make.

"Sometimes distances are too long, hills can get in the way, and hard journeys to work may leave you covered in sweat"

That's because you're all on single speeds, genius.

I would've liked to see/hear a bit more about how it makes hills seem flat & distances shrink. So far I love what I understand about it though. The connectivity is a great plus too!

I think it is a good idea for some people. Maybe new users would like this bike because they don't have to put much effort in it... I like the ordinary bicycle, I use it for exercise and I listen music usually. I go out and enjoy the sun, sometimes I have wind against me so it gets a bit more difficult, but that's the beauty of it. I like it the old fashioned way :)

Wow! From the technological perspective it is a breakthrough, but (by the time) the high initial cost makes it infeasible in practice. Congratulations!
