[video=youtube;MFzDaBzBlL0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFzDaBzBlL0[/video] Amazing. I want to set up a hidden camera of people trying to steal this thing and just confront them when they cant.
I wonder what would happen if you gave this bike to an adult that never learned how to ride a bike at all?

[QUOTE=SuperDuperScoot;47596267]I wonder what would happen if you gave this bike to an adult that never learned how to ride a bike at all?[/QUOTE] They'd fall of because they don't know how to ride a bike. Seriously though, it would probably be harder than a normal bike. It's just not intuitive. [QUOTE=FPtje;47596271]They can because they often don't ride it, but drag it into a minivan instead.[/QUOTE] Yeah, probably. It would be amazing to see them fail if they tried though
Nobody's ever gonna steal that bike :v:

[QUOTE=SuperDuperScoot;47596267]I wonder what would happen if you gave this bike to an adult that never learned how to ride a bike at all?[/QUOTE] I was thinking that through the entire video, since I never learned how.
I once forget that I wrote with my right hand, I spent an entire 5 minutes writing perfect with my left. I've had the same experience with English, I have had a basic understanding of the language since I was 12 and I have become better at it than at my mother tongue, but when I was listening to a podcast a few summers ago, I somehow stopped understanding it and all I hear was gibberish. I was able to go back and forth that day. I haven't been able to day anyway of the two since. I would very much like to test the bike, because I think I am fucked up enough to get the hang of it.
What he accomplished was essentially what happens when you switch from one game to another and both games have different controls.
[QUOTE=SpartanXC9;47599132]What he accomplished was essentially what happens when you switch from one game to another and both games have different controls.[/QUOTE] switching between the COD padmap (X to reload, right stick to melee, bumper for grenade) to the Halo 3 padmap (bumper to reload, B to melee, left trigger for grenade) to the GTA V padmap (B to reload, B to melee, left/right trigger for grenade) is definitely not that tough i'd like to think most people can swap between those several times in a single day without error or confusion. i certainly don't have to focus on it.

I don't know how to ride a bicycle, never have. I don't have any bike riding information in my brain, would I be able to do this?
[QUOTE=FingerSpazem;47601054]I don't know how to ride a bicycle, never have. I don't have any bike riding information in my brain, would I be able to do this?[/QUOTE] In theory. I don't think one is inherently harder than the other, so it should take you as long as it would to learn a normal bike for the first time.
[QUOTE=FingerSpazem;47601054]I don't know how to ride a bicycle, never have. I don't have any bike riding information in my brain, would I be able to do this?[/QUOTE] Sure, but once you learn, you'd never be able to ride a normal bike for at least 8 months
The irony is, at speed, you actually do turn the handlebars slightly the opposite direction you turn He demonstrates what the brain just does. Like flipping images the right way around even though they should be upside down. You can wear a pair of glasses that flip everything upside down, and within a week your brain rights the images up again
I'm gonna make my bike like that so I can learn how to ride it and then go and show him up.
Very interesting video. Also the music was nice [url]https://ashellinthepit.bandcamp.com/track/minke-bottles[/url]
Every midsummer our relatives get together, and we have a bike like this for people to try out. Nobody can ride it for longer than a few seconds except for one guy, who for some reason has no problems at all.
I want one. Where can I get one?
