Aquatic Bicycle

Not a new idea, or one that we haven’t seen made several times before, but there is something rather simple with this floating cycle.

Four sets of floats, made from standard office water cooler style bottles, keep the bike high and dry. Additionally, it looks as though they can be added and removed rather easily, making it true to the name of an amphibious bicycle, rather than water based alone.

While I doubt it would be overly advantageous in a city with so many bridges like Pittsburgh, the recreation aspect would provide hours of fun on our three large waterways. I would be curious how deep the draft is, and what the performance is like on smaller streams; particularly going against the current.

   with my luck, the floats would fall off and you’d hear me screeching as I sank into the Monongahela’s murky depths.
