The Utterly Impractical Flying Bicycle

Published

July 11, 2012

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.
