The Utterly Impractical Flying Bicycle

July 11th, 2012 by Joshua S Hill

Ever wondered what it would be like to be able to fly around town on your own bicycle? No? Me neither. Until I saw this flying bicycle prototype animation made by Czech-based DesignYourDream.

So, yeah. The bike is currently only able to sustain air travel for 3 to 5 minutes and weighs a whopping 200 pounds. A prototype won’t be test-flying until August. And it will never go into commercial production.

But you still want one.
