    I have no idea, but the dude is clearly having fun, and isn't that what bikes is about?

    It's edited so it looks like the rope slide ends at a cake shop doorway.

    It's about the size of one of those Mussolini bikes.

    It's adorable. But your face would be in the tarmac three times a day riding it over the Mare Tranquillitatis that is the Edinburgh road system. That front wheel would just like, vanish, dude.

    That's essentially a unicycle with a stabiliser? (Well not quite.)

    I'll buy one if he can go up Scotland St, do a lap of Drummond Place and make it back to King G's V park without putting a foot down. Those are brutal cobbles.

    Ideal for the endless sprawling malls in Dubai etc...

    It's a sort of crank forward velocino.

    The halbrad looks larger than a folded Brompton, but may ride less well than a Brompton.

    People will shout 'Get a real unicycle' won't they? ;-)
    Appreciate that forumers here 'tolerate' a fair amount of bike deviance but...
    'Popular' bikes have to go faster, or carry more, or be more comfortable don't they?
    Anyway 'vive le difference' or the German equivalent.
