Will training wheels be a thing of the past?

[Jeff Lewis]

This is a cool little engineering idea...

A teammate told me about this over the weekend. Very interesting idea, but I think the end production would be sooooo costly, few could afford it... even if anything made it into final production.

Hey, I posted about this a few days ago...thought it was neat.

Hey....they have an auto shifting bike that doesn't cost much......so why would one of these be so expensive.....:laugh::laugh:

Hey, if our mountain bikes had this feature, think about how much easier it would be to do rock gardens and other low speed technical stuff......:laugh:

No doubt, plus just think that you could ride to the bar with the wheels in the normal position, then spread them apart for more stability for the ride home. ;)

That's stupid. I learned to ride without training wheels, and I have the scars to prove it! :D
