The GyroBike

  The GyroBike 官網

  YouTube上GyroBike的影片
The GyroBike’s fly wheel spins independently within the front wheel of a bicycle, creating a force that stabilizes the bike.

The GyroBike uses the principle of gyroscopic precession to stabilize the bike and the rider. The GyroBike “senses” unbalanced biking and re-centers the rider’s weight underneath the bike at the point when tipping starts to occur. It provides high-speed stability at startup speeds, whether riding straight or turning.

  簡單來說就是GyroBike在腳踏車前輪加上某種特殊設計,快要跌倒的時候,這個特殊設計可以幫騎車的人找回平衡。

  目前預計2008年底上市,似乎是個適合我的東西呢,在Burke-Gilman Trail上騎腳踏車一直是我美麗的幻想啊。

  講個完全無關的,昨天去Safeway居然聽到中文廣播說“特價產品歡迎購買”之類的,中文耶,U-District已經Chinatown化了嗎?
