Want!

I can just imagine it now… People tacking up the road on the way to work!

Thanks for the link Ian

The more I watch this video the more I want to have a go.

Whats the difference between this and a normal land yacht (apart form the pedals?)

& gearing, I guess not a lot tbh.

Can you imagine the fun/trouble you could get into commuting with one of them to work

James May – springs to mind 😉

HA ha ! I could just imagine the sort of mess I could get in with that, on one of those inland gusty days when it goes from force F.all to force 6 and back all within 20 seconds. Biggest most painful accident I ever had was windsurfing, but, that was just the once, compared to the myriad of offs I’ve had on the bike through total technical ineptitude .
