Check out the website to see the story on this bike. DIY Amphibious Bicycle Made from Recycled Water Gallons by CubeMe
I coulda used one of those getting over the Trinity River low water crossing last week! (The water wasn't very low...)
When I first came across the article at first all I saw was the picture and was thinking "man, what a gentleman letting her try it out first, wuss." Then I read the article and realised, "yup, your design, your test run!" LOL
Geez, might as well add the luxury tax for the "yacht" while at it right! Sounds like Va., always finding a tax or a charge for everything. I don't know how many times they tried to charge me taxes on my vehicles. It got to be a real pain every year faxing a copy of my orders and a letter stating my non-resident status. Glad I got out of there.
I just wonder if this would ever become a production bicycle, when and where the first rescue at sea would be!? Sometimes common sense isn't so much common practice.
This bike was invented in China. Common sense is not alowed when it comes to matters relating to making a buck in the U.S.! LOL
