Oh sure! I can't even stay upright on a bicycle lately!!! I would be falling like crazy on that, though it does look kinda fun. Didja see the photo of one of 'em riding down stairs on it? Right! :eek:

But you do have to give them credit for showing it being used by riders wearing helmets!!

Huh? :confused:

Why treadmill when you can walk? Or run? Or - obviously - bike?

Does anybody seriously like treadmills that much? How bizarre.

I don't think even the inventors take this thing seriously. Did you hear them laughing in the video??
Can you imagine lugging that thing on a bus?! OY!

"while protecting your feet from dirt and other contaminants commonly found on the earth's surface"


Finally! A way for me to walk outside without contaminating myself with... earth! Now if only they could do away with that pesky outdoor smell...

:D
