Is it April 1st already?

Surely cannot be serious?

yet to launch on kickstarter so no prices…

Embrace Eco-Friendly Cycling with Sustainable Style

The front “Display Module” dissipates heat when in “Sandwich” mode, creating a seamless airflow pathway with the Switch, keeping temperatures in check during intense gameplay

Brilliant, can’t wait to order, guessing shipping will start 1st April 2025?

I’m guessing its a scam phishing site of some sort, but they’ve gone to the trouble of making a hilarious video. Also appreciate this:

With just a quick strap-on, you’ll immediately feel the difference in comfort and convenience

Just imagine how fast you’d be if you could combine it with one of these!

I might develope an aero buff

You too can look embarrassed and petrified and have fun times during sidewinds. Idiots. Obviously some kind of AI joke. The robots have finally taken over.

It looks like it would hold plenty of spare air for when you get a puncture

Looks like someone’s marketing degree project maybe? Has anyone dared sign up to the mailing list? 🙂

Riding my bike this morning reminded me that it will act as a dorsal fun if you actually try to be aero…

either it’s a project as Woody says, or just an idea to part fools from money. Can’t see it acting as an airbag if you manage to fall on it, the big (drag causing) air vents will empty it pretty fast…

Although it does bring to mind the story of someone who advertised “solar power clothes dryer” by mail order way back when that was a thing.

when people sent money he posted out a clothes line….

The triathletes will be all over that.

Did we not have someone on here that was obsessed with trying to make a hyper aero saddle bag to improve their commute?

They now seem to have removed their fake Trustpilot reviews from their website, see  https://road.cc/content/tech-news/air-filled-backpack-reduce-drag-hits-kickstarter-310367

There’s definitely a part of me that wants to try one of these out of sheer curiosity. I don’t think it will work for a whole host of reasons but I think it would be really cool to be proven wrong.

Not going to back it though, obvs.
