What is your preferred mode of transportation?

something like this would be cool. i've always fancied a wee shot of one of these, but......, meh.



not quite a jetpack, but cheap to run. and at 25mph max, i wouldn't really want a range of 600 miles.

600 miles at 25 MPH = pee really bad

or possibly some small concilation for having no rockets? :rolleyes:

I just like hoofing it places to be honest, or getting there by my own power otherwise (biking (which I rarely do), rollerblading, whatever).

walking.

ideally teleportation is my preferred method of transit, but we'll wait and see on that.

Actually, my ideal method of transport is, one which won't get me killed,

'our cars are the safest on the road' if no one else is on them!

No, Mountain bike. Loads of people have those pedals, they all come from the same factory but are sld under about a thousand different names :smile: I think you pay somrthing like ?25 for them under the name 'V8', but I got mine for ?12 under some name I had never heard of - lasted years of punishment!

ahh. I got them for $16.50 (USD) online, so I guess I got a pretty good deal. They are real nice too (grip your feet), but when I fall and they hit my shins... ouch!

Hah, I definately know that feeling! One time when it happened, the pedal span round, hit my chin, but I was falling at the same time, so it gouged a little trench out of my chin, could see bone :smile:

I'm surprised you don't use toeclips on your mtn bike. I have them on my bike and really like them. You can use the upstroke for power as well as the downstroke, and whatnot. I tried using them on my muni of course, but after a few falls I got the feeling that toe clips + unicycle = a fast way to needing reconstructive face surgery (-:

Oh, and all of you who think unicycling is a wuss sport for clowns and circuses need to watch this:

Wow, awsome stuff on that movie.

I would use toe straps if I was a hardcore XC rider, but when you are trying to hop about on walls and things, toe clips lead you to the same 'reconstructive face surgery' area that they do with a unicycle :smile:

I walk.
