Soundbike puts laughter on the road
posted December 8th 2005 2:50PM
If you spend much time on a bike, you know how hard it is to get motorists to take you seriously. So why bother? Instead of trying to show aggressive drivers how tough you are, how about just laughing in their faces? That seems to be the idea behind the Soundbike, a concept product designed by Jessica Thompson. The unit attaches to the rear of a bike frame, and produces peals of laughter as you pedal. The faster you go, the louder and wilder the laughter gets, until it reaches the fever-pitch of a raging lunatic as you race down hills. Okay, we dig it. But we really do like the aggression bit as well, so we're hoping for a custom version designed for New York streets that spouts obscenities, getting louder, angrier and filthier the more you pedal. That should put those cab drivers on notice.
If only this played loud music, it might have be a worthy replacement for our car battery/stereo/subwoofer homemade sound cart for Critical Mass Cincinnati. The laughing, though, might get someone shot.
wow.. slow news day, eh?
do you guys ever get tired of whiny bitches like brian?
bwahaahaa,LOL etc. as speed increases
I cannot believe you people dont think this is the funniest god damned thing!!!
God damn is that funny, "the faster you go..."
I would probably end up killing myself because I would be heading down some rad hills and laughing my ass off too much
lol...I dont even want to try it
I would never have thought of this, what a great idea! What I would suggest is to attach it to a stationary bike in a retirement home.
And the popular option for New York City streets: a bullet shield.
That is about as entertaining as a fart machine,oh wait now thats funny!
A sound of flatulance would be funny!
