Soon to be banned from UCI Cyclocross competition

http://www.bikeforest.com/tread/index.php

Their own (carefully thought out) sales pitch says it all:
" Have you ever wished you could get a quality treadmill workout with paying expensive gym prices?"
-and-
"Imagine running through evergreen forests or strolling down country roads. All of this is possible thanks to the rugged design and all terrain tires on the revolutionary Treadmill Bike."

Well thank god for that, how would I have ever strolled down country roads without it?

I guess this must be Jon Hamblens secret training aid... I think he uses quick runs to cold stone to eat icecream and see fat chicks singing. the elevated platform really helps him to be seen by drivers in riced out hondas

Please God, tell me this is some sort of well executed parody? I am up for a heaping portion of distain for my fellow Americans, but even I can't muster enough cynicism to beleve that people have become so divorced from reality that they have forgotten you can actualy walk as a form of locomotion...

I wish I could spell what I think.
That would be rad.

Sorry Chad,

I 'scoped it out. This is what happens when Engineers in uninteresting regions are left to thier devices. In fact, you can rent one if you want to try out walking as a form of locomotion. Advanced users might even be able to run!

Actually, if you peruse the site they have a very nice set of Java code driven CAD design tools for bikes.
It could cost thousands to get the windows software to do something like that.

That hybrid of several things that should not be mixed - bikes, scooters, joggers, and dorks - is a travesty.

A sham.

A mockery.

A traveshamockery.
