This Trash Raised Over $6 Million

As a profesional bike mechanic, it drives me insane that so many believe they can improve on an essentially perfectly engineered device. The thing to remember is this: great engineering is when there is nothing left to take away, not when there is nothing left to add. The perfect bike is made up of three steel triangles with hub-and-spoke wheels. Anything else is personal preference.

The bike activating itself and trying to sprint away from its operator like a frightened horse is the funniest thing I've seen all day. I've never seen a bike have its own fight-or-flight mode.

IT'S BUILT LIKE A BICYCLE SIGN.

Thanks for the shout out, Charlie. I thoroughly enjoyed the additional context.

I suspect they only tested it on one of those super smooth cement warehouse floors.

“Bold new design” is a crazy statement when the only interesting feature is a weird wheel

If you want to make anything sound more sophisticated than it really is. Then just throw in the phrase “aerospace grade”

It literally has ZERO shock absorption, that thing is gonna KILL your gooch

The guy who received that bike and put it on ebay was the least screwed over of the entire customer base.

**Notification** Your bike was just stolen. Sucks to be you.
