The Magic Wheel Not Exactly a Bike Killer

If someone would have told me five years ago that miniature pennyfarthings worn like a single roller skate would be a viable form of transportation in the near future, well, I probably would have agreed. I had some pretty crazy ideas about pennyfathings back then, too. The Magic Wheel is the human powered Segway.

    Well. I’m glad you can do tricks with it. And hell, if and old guy can use it while talking on a cell phone and holding a briefcase, and you can pick up chicks with it, I’m sold.

    Where’s the crashes reel? I bet it’s pretty freaking hilarious to see people get their feet tangled inside that wheel and take a header on a busy sidewalk…
