Fantastic invention for disabled riders but I'd relentlessly mock anyone else who had them. Training wheels for big boys lol.

Yeah except there's this out there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdOvqfe35o4 I've ridden with the guy who developed the first prototype of this system, he blew past me in the A group at Miller motorsports like I was standing still.

It's hard to tell from the video, but it looks like it requires you to actually press down with weight using your feet. I would guess this is actually just for genuinely terrible riders rather than disabled people.

This is obviously a photoshop, you can tell in the original picture that the bike was actually doing a wheelie on the sidewalk and the rider has just been edited out and replaced with that completely fake cardboard box.

hayden. posted:I would guess this is actually just for genuinely terrible riders rather than disabled people.  It reminds me of a story my buddy told me. When he took his safety course, there was a woman who had failed 3 times, and was back to try again. She would roll the bike out nervously, lift her feet, and the drat thing would sloooowly fall over. Several times.  I guess they told her to stop while she was ahead, and basically kicked her out of the class. She was really upset, but hopefully this will be for her own good? (I think so)

How does that even work? I'm not sure you could even deliberately make a bike fall over like that once it had any speed.

Those training wheels are really only effective at that one small sliver of time where you're moving, so you cant just straight up plant your feet and hold the bike, but you're not moving fast enough for the bike to balance itself. I'd say those are more for terrible riders than the disabled, as anyone disabled enough to not be able to hold their bike up wont be able to hold it up with those either. Your body still has to do all the work, you just dont have to put your feet on the ground.

I guess this isn't so useful on the street, but there's plenty of guys who still ride like crazy while being disabled. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ItYINHMg7Y

this thing is badass, love the ingenuity. Nick Brocha, Ernie Vigil, and Jason DiSalvo messing around at Barber's motorsports. Hooning on a couple of Triumps. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GG8fgmz3LQ&feature=related Met Mr. Barber a few times. Interesting guy, and more down to earth than you would expect.
