As far as I can tell, this product never panned out. It was backed by 132 people to cover 150k GBP in 2017. It was called the “Cyclotron Bike”.

I'd only ride this bike if it formed a wall of coloured light behind me as I rode

Wait, I'm confused. Does it have tires or is that just a big ring of plastic?

From the video it looks like the plastic rings are casings and the wheels are inside them, and the wheels poke out at the bottom. Seems dumb to me.

You can kind of see it here but it looks like they're intentionally hiding a good view of it with angles/lighting:

What happens when you ride through mud?

[–] Opisek@lemmy.world 18 points 5 months ago (1 children)

You ride into the mud. Not so much out of the mud.
