It would have to work very hard to convince me that it is a practical idea...

Novel. Practical and fun. If there's any wind.

Looks to me like a serious accident waiting to happen.

[Bbbananas]

Yeah - don't think the BF will be buying me one, with my track record for accidents. I shall stick to the Pashley.

I was hoping to see the machine in action on that link, a golden opportunity missed? maybe their is a reason why they only show it stationary.

We see these things on the beaches here all the time, just without the pedals, best place for them!

ratters...i did it see the machine in action, but it was on spanish tv, on a travel show promoting holland, the whike had its name on the sail.
i´m sure with a bit of searching you´ll find something. maybe try youtube

It was a constructive and honest. opinion. The Emergency and accident units would be chockablock, if those contraptions were let loose..
