Spare a thought for the hard-pressed Germans:
Pressured to purchase lowly bicycles as an alternative of automobiles:
Oh, the humanity!
In the meantime within the Netherlands they’ve perfected biking for people so now they’re shifting on to canines:
“If a canine might design a motorcycle seat, that is what it might seem like,” claims the narrator:
That is fully unfaithful, and I’ve a schematic for a motorcycle seat drawn by an precise canine to show it:
[It just clamps onto the handlebars if you’re wondering.]
Canine prioritize meals, consolation, and waging everlasting battle in opposition to their sworn enemy the cat, in that order. Sadly this product by no means made it into manufacturing, although it did get the canine a job as an engineer at Lockheed Martin.
As for the USA, a.ok.a. Canada’s bushy canine mattress, in contrast to these hard-pressed Germans we soft-middled Individuals at all times discover cash within the couch cushions to spend on automobiles:
And in contrast to the Dutch we’re not likely snug biking with our pets as a result of we’re too preoccupied with helmets–for them:

Both we’re attempting to get our bikes to cross by it as easily as doable, or else we’re fretting over how a lot of it we have now in our tires. So we trip round on whale fin wheels with self-inflation methods:
The system is known as the GRAVAA:
And I’m certain I’m not the one one who thinks it’s about time somebody invented a pair of wheels you must cost:
Between this and your energy meter and your electrical drivetrain and your electrical dropper submit you’ll want to hold an inventory of all of the batteries and charging ports in your bike as a result of there’s no means you’ll bear in mind all of them. It’s like attempting to recollect the place you set all of the roach baits in your kitchen.
If we might work out a approach to channel the air circulate across the rim instantly into the valve then we’d actually be onto one thing.
Lastly, I’m a agency believer in free speech, however I’m not certain it ought to apply to bike opinions:
