The Wonderbike

Post by JJVP »

Bumped by a motor vehicle while riding that single wheel thing is not good. You would surely earn a bad hair day.

Although this looks like fun, I've driven 20 miles an hour before and that ain't fun at all.

(+1 for fun) + (-1 for speed) = 0

Looks like a good way for a fellow to hurt himself. Sign me up!
