    Intersting concept for a uni-bike. I assume it is essentially thrust vectoring using multiple dyson fans stuck to a wheel which is more or less an idler? Hell of a lot better than relying on that wheel for decelleration and acceleration imo, but pretty ambitious to try and get enough thrust from fancy fans!

    I'm guessing doing wheelies are out of the question...

    Does it vaccum the garage in its spare time?

    It looks like it would nosedive (rather than wheel stand) very easily

    Well this Dyson sucks, dont think it cleans, probably more Dyke than bike, and is as about as inspiring as a wet fish...
