Cool video, that’s some clever stuff. I’ll have to wait for it to come down in price a bit though before considering it for my bike!
This is a truly beautiful design idea: simple, functional, and useful. I had’nt heard of the Copenhagen Wheel, but I have seen their competetion on Kickstarter, ‘The Flykly’, which sells for about $800 usd.
I want one…!
