Sail Bike
Has anyone ever heard of a sail bike, powered by wind?



How fast can these go? Wouldn't it be almost impossible to go towards the wind with it?

That's slick. If it's anything like it's sail contemporaries it can get moving pretty fast is my guess.

It only goes twenty. It seems like it might be counter productive to have a sail. Especially if it's a Fixie.
