Looks pretty comfy.

I don't like being looked at when I use a bicycle, and people might think I'm some mass shooter if I'm riding with a cloth over my face in the heat. This product literally solves my main woes with cycling.


Looks more safe than cycling normally, at least your body isn't completely exposed.

Can I add some music player to that shit? I think a diy stereo with a sansa clip and some speakers would be awesome, just run the thing with a 3300 mah battery.

Might as well light up some high quality ganja while I'm traveling to sweeten the trip even more. You can't do that on a regular bike.

>>54506546
According to a website you can retain the same speed as a bike while using 3.5 times less energy.

http://www.lowtechmagazine.com/2010/09/the-velomobile-high-tech-bike-or-low-tech-car.html

Just buy some pipes and canvas and make one yourself. IMO the biggest problem is the sheer size of the thing. A "normal" bike can be stored in a hall of a small ass flat on the top floor of some commie bloc, this thing can't. And coupled with the price tag it becomes even more of a problem.

It's annoying to have people following you with their eyes like you're some sort of peculiar attraction in the street, I don't like being approached and have idiots ask me shit about cycling either.

In general I dislike people paying too much attention to me, they ought to mind their own business.
>>

I used to wear a full face DH riding, I don't anymore just due to the heat. I would rather lose my teeth.

And camouflaging yourself, so that you look even more eye catching does help that exactly how…?

I can understand the part of not being to extroverted and not wanting to be the center of attention (I'm posting on /g/, for fucks sake…), but you sound like you have some issues and should find some help.

>>54507788
>And camouflaging yourself, so that you look even more eye catching does help that exactly how…?
Oh, I'm certain that it is more eye catching, however, they do not know who I am or what I look like, which gives me a feeling of relaxation, like wearing a war mask.

Keeping my identity away from normies is essentially a buffer which is useful to relax while I'm doing something I enjoy, for instance, you wouldn't like to be looked at while you're watching a movie, would you?

The fact they don't know anything about me is reassuring, I can show them my power while cycling anonymously but I also desire to deny them my essence, which is my identity, individuality, or whatever it is that you want to call it.

>I can understand the part of not being to extroverted and not wanting to be the center of attention (I'm posting on /g/, for fucks sake…), but you sound like you have some issues and should find some help.
I think I'm a well adjusted guy, I simply don't like people watching me perform solo activities that I enjoy, I don't want people to remember me as that guy who rides his bike, looks like x or y, and does this or that. They're strangers and they shall remain like that.

I don't want strangers to have any type of connection with me if I have the bad luck of running into them in the street when I'm not rising my bike.

Having power over my identity is a priority for me, I don't feel comfortable having interactions with normies even if it's just someone watching me go by in a bike.

I do find it extremely irritating that people don't mind their own business, and as such, I'm forced to do tgis kind of things.
>>that guy that wears a mask, looks like a rapist and watches polish pedophile
First of all I do not indulge in such practices, secondly, these people should be ashamed for thinking so. Why is retaining your anonymity such a big deal?
>sure, in the latter case, they might not see your face, but you will be immidiately more "rememberable" than just one of thousands of normal guys, that are normally riding their bike.
It doesn't matter because all I want is avoiding to show my face, they aren't going to recognize me by anything else.

But they do not connect with you, and they do mind their own business. I never ever had anyone that I did not know or did not have to interact with randomly approaching me, with something like
>LMAO, you are that dude that is riding a bike/walking over campus/eating salad for lunch/whatever
Its just normal to occasionally see people out in public that you have seen before in public.
I can understand that you are anxious about that, but trying to hide yourself is not helping. get professional help!

They might not recognize your true you, but they WILL recognize you!
If you want to truly preserve your anonymity in public, just be like the public. Dress normally, do normal things, show your normal face etc. This way, no one will notice you. But if you make an effort to be unnotized, you will stick out!

If you ever get into a fight your likely to get your ass kicked.

A real fight is far different from training. The difference in mental state is something you absolutely cannot prepare for.

Also how the fuck do you go your entire life without getting into a fight? Serious question.

They are not going to remember you if you're simply riding your bike. People don't give a fuck.

>>
>>54506200
I think that is actually a neat idea depending on how much the cockpit weighs down on it.

I have been dreaming of building something similar but electric and inside the (((EU))) light EV specs so I am allowed to drive on sidewalks.

>>
>>54516307
That depends anon.
If it's a bicycle, it's a stupid idea. If it's a powered electric vehicle, it's a nice idea. Still, you're better off starting with a fat scooter and modding it. They're built to haul a huge amount of weight so a few extras will do no harm.

That's the Fz-09 with the Inline 3. The FZ-07 is a 75hp parallel twin, basically the baby sister of the FZ-09.

I couldn't justify the cost difference or the extra displacement of something I just ride back & forth to work on.

Fair enough, if I order the industrial grade freedom model it will probably carry more than the average sedan here while towing one behind it.


But for real that is a great idea and it would be a faster prototype to make.

>>
>>54517766
Not him but I hate people who buy into bullshit pseudoscience

Shit like the Thorium Powered car and Solar powered roadways are the biggest fucking chumps on the planet.

They pretend to be smart, they'll even spin you some 10 dollar words they read on facebook but when it comes down to actually understanding shit they don't know anything.

Shit like people claimed that you could use 8g of thorium and power a car forever was thermodynamically impossible. Sure theres enough energy in that 8g of thorium but you'll never harvest it all, it some how assumes a complete and 100% efficiency which is garbage

Other crap like the self filling waterbottle is so stupidly inefficient that it can only generate 1 liter of water every 40 hours of sun light assuming you get 100% sunlight exposure and its 100% humidity
>>
>>54506200
remember those motorcycles from a couple of years ago now with the two wheels on the front...never see them anymore
>>
>>54517817
Other crap like the underwater breathing apparatus that supposedly generates oxygen out of the water when in reality its impossible for a few reasons

1. it takes a fuck load of energy that a dinky little battery they advertised doesn't have
2. di-oxygen molecules are bigger than water molecules so its impossible to have a physical filter to filter it.
3. you'd have to run about 100 liters of water a minute through the breathing thing just to have it get enough oxygen for you to breath.

This is why you sometimes get a bunch of retarded journals and papers out of universities in china that advertise that they've found a way to create energy or create more energy than they used when really they've actually discovered Gibbs Free Energy

Flouride in the water is actually bad for you.

Don't forget you consume flouride from many sources on a daily basis, once they add up they really represent a threat to your health.
>>
>>54511205
Because they are dumb niggers.
>>
>>54517983
>Flouride in the water is actually bad for you.
No its not, stop it with your conspiracy theory trash.

>represent a threat to your health

I have a better chance at getting mercury poisoning from a can of white Tuna.

The fluoride in the water is about 0.5 to 1.0ppm and is in low enough concentration to form things like Fluoroappetite which is actually really good for your teeth. The rest of it you just piss out like you would anything else and little of it gets absorbed. You need at least a 70ppm concentration to get any even remotely harmful effects from it.
>>
>>54518023
>No its not, stop it with your conspiracy theory trash.
How about you stop your lying? Fluoride harms your pituitary gland.
>>
>>54518023
I just said it is harmful for you because you consume flouride from many sources on a daily basis, yet, you go on a rant about muh conspiracy theories.

Flouride can be found in lots of products that you consume on a daily basis, it's even found on frying pans and shit.

>it's ok goy! it only has an itty bit of flouride, it's not like it adds up or anything!
>>
>>54517726

Why? There's nothing remotely fun around La Jolla in the first place?

>>54518114
>Fluoride harms your pituitary gland.
You're probably gonna tell me that Fluoride somehow Calcifies your pituitary gland too. Even though it naturally calcifies over time and fluoride has absolutely nothing to do with what the fuck Calcium does.

>>54518151
>no guy's you're gonna get wicked sick from fluoride
>despite the concentrations and volumes being so fucking low you'll never have a problem ever

you'll die of asphyxiation as your blood cells explode from osmosis from the water than you will ever get fluoride poisoning
>>
>>54518151
>I just said it is harmful for you

>>
>>54518286
>me believing in pseudoscience blindly trumps any possibility of being wrong because I have a huge confirmation bias I'll never be able to prove
>>
>>54518297
What part of flouride intake adding up is pseudoscience?
>>
>>54518320
because theres no evidence of random uptake of fluoride in a daily environment has ever caused anyone health problems ever. Its complete bullshit that stemmed from "fluoride is bad for you"

You have to come up with a huge wicked concentration for it to ever be poisonous and no amount of daily shit you encounter will ever come close to that.
>>
>>54518349
Most toothpastes contain about 1000 ppm of flouride, let's say you assimilate 1% of it through your mouth when you brush your teeth on a daily basis three times a day, that's nearly half of the intake you consider to be negative for health. Now add up the flouride intake from water, salt, processed foods, pharmaceutical products, etc.

I'm not talking about poisonous shit but rather the effect it has on the brain and intelligence.

Exactly about what? Evidence of the body absorbing substances from various means? or the contents of flouride in toothpaste? all those can be found with a simple Google search

A problem with bikes like those are that they seem more safe, but really are deathtraps. Imagine getting hit by a car (or worse, a truck), when you're inside a tiny plastic casing. One thing is getting stuck or fucking the doors up, another is possible plastic shards.

then it's also significantly heavier, less flexible, and it's not like wind will ever be a comfort issue at the speeds this thing can do. but winds will be a huge resistance issue, considering the size.
