Looks like he doesn't, since he kinda plops down when the roll ends, I think he's just hanging on for dear life with his hands and legs. Either way I have no idea if this would work at all if you're travelling in anything other than a perfect straight line.

It wouldn't do anything good for you, that's for sure. You'd slide out way before the hoop had touched the ground, and then you're got an obstacle keeping you from getting away from the sliding/flipping bike.

Now we're talking, just maybe add a couple doors on the side, make it a little wider, one more column of wheels and it'll be the perfect bike.

More seriously what about a reinforced concrete wall? Feels absurd you gotta design your homes like medieval fortresses because of all the heavy rear end SUVs drivens by idiots though.

Often these folks do this because they know they will blow over the limit and lead the police home on a chase and run inside to have a drink to “settle their nerves” and then they can’t do a breathalyzer. One weird trick! (It has been done in hit and run cases locally too)

I had a 3 on the tree early 70s Nova with the 250 inline six. That car was indestructible. until the entire undercarriage turned to powder (Wisconsin winters are not kind).

Out shopping yesterday and there was another Taycan parked up, so as is customary I parked next to it.

Looks like it might not be on the road much longer!

All this talk has been about 3 on the three, but how about transmissions with more gears, I would assume those were around for longer. I remember driving a relative's Nissan pickup around the end of 90s with 5-speed column shifter. That pickup thought me to appreciate diesel when I misshifted from second to fifth and the only issue was a slower acceleration.
