There is too much running involved.
Repost with roller skates instead of running shoes.
Personally, I like
the hover scooter --------------------------->
Not sure if it runs on vegetable oil but I bet it would be fun to play hover scooter polo.

I kind of like the "Jump Bike" but, I can't see it working on hills.

man, i wish people would, you know, do some research before they "invent" things...
This thing is basically a suspended, three wheeled version of a draisine, which, nearly 200 years ago, was denoted as being impractical and quickly fell out of fashion, the bicycle didnt become popular until it had some sort of self propelling drive... there was a reason for this.

Oh and technically it's not a bike... one as it has no drive system, and two.. it has more than two wheels (bicycle meaning two wheels)

This thing doesnt make any sense, except for novelty sake. And I usually like freak bikes or "different" bikes. The suspension takes away from the energy you create when you push or run or whatever you want to call it. this might be fun bombing a hill, other than that I cant see it even bening fun to ride. I

Two expressions that are popular in the hotrodding world come to mind:
"The answer to the question no one was asking."
and
"Another case of misdirected effort."

Leo! When are we making bolt-on wheelie bars!?!?
Next stop: The Wheelie Ride (helmet suggested)

Yeah, bombing down a wicked hill on that thing would be amazing amounts of fun. I'd prefer to see those "shocks" put to good use and see that poor bastard take it off a ramp or a drop off at least. I can't imagine having that seat thing wedged in your groin would be very comfortable though.
It also needs one or more of the following:
1. Lights
2. Music
3. A paint job making it look like a griffin or other mythological animal
4. A bad ass nickname painted by hand on it
5. Cup holders, at least 7
e. Fireworks!!

Sounds like a poor cover of the John Anderson hit, "When it comes to you".

The more I think about it the more I want to make a wheelie bar, its definately on the necessary tip. I think I have a perfect candidate for a wheelie bar too!!
