    It's awesome until you consider:

    a) How many bicycle thefts there are
    b) The ridiculous risk of packing valuables in your luggage
    c) How obvious that this is a bike to a baggage handler

    Because I seriously doubt this fits in an overhead bin. #cycling

    @blash: It may be possible for an entire bike to be stolen, but unless you fly The Airline Bubba Done Built Airways, it's likely you'll not have much to worry about. I have a feeling a baggage handler would not be as eager to snatch something that big, unless you're flying out of the Disputed Zone. #cycling

    I don't think anybody cut from much "lesser cloth" would even consider buying this thing. If they're riding Huffy's (or anything NOT carbon/aluminum), then they probably don't want to bother dis/assembling their bike. Nor would they shell out the money for this thing, as spiffy as it is.

    Oh for fuck's sake! Whatever happened to the right of passage of getting nicked up shins and knees while learning how to ride? I remember back in the day learning how to ride on my Huffy banana seat bike and banging up my shins pretty good. I had not mastered the art of braking and my pedals where made of metal and they'd bang against my shins after I put my feet on the ground at the end of stopping. It was no biggie. Plus there's something about having your dad holding the back of your bike pushing you along and making sure you don't fall. I'd rather have those memories than one sitting in front of a screen. #hondabicyclesimulator

    @UGAdawg: Absolutely, but some parents will go to great lengths to automate something instead of spending time with their kids. Also, as the threads below suggest, maybe some adults aren't the best role models from which to learn rules. I'm all for personal responsibility, as well as letting parents raise their children, but if this method keeps kids from getting hit on their bikes, or gives them the confidence to get outside and ride their bikes, I'm for it. #hondabicyclesimulator

    You know, I get so sick of seeing grown adults riding bikes on the sidewalks. Kids don't need this; adults do. I say we make anyone over the age of 15 who is caught braking traffic laws while on a bike, take mandatory lessons on this. #hondabicyclesimulator

    @Software_Goddess: also, biking on the wrong side of the road is also really annoying. A bicycle is a vehicle, you bike on the RIGHT side of the road (unless you live in England or one of the other countries where you drive on the left).

    But worst of all is the drivers who simply refuse to acknowledge that people are biking, and will either cut them off or force the cyclist to brake/swerve wildly to avoid being run over or running into the car. #hondabicyclesimulator

    @headc4se: Oh I had no idea we could make up our own rules! Let me try: Oh since I'm faster on my motorcycle than just about anything else, I have the right of way. Or, since when on the bicycle, I consume no gas or produce no emmisions I have the right of way.

    Or hey, I like this one best - Since 99% of roads gets funded by property taxes all you renters can get the f*ck off my roads. #hondabicyclesimulator

    @Lizard_King: I do like the rule about the motorcycles, since I usually do give myself the right of way when I'm riding, safely of course. Since you don't produce any emissions on a bicycle, I would have to take your right of way since idling isn't bad for the environment. Unfortunately, the whole renter thing doesn't work, since rent does include something towards property taxes, etc.. #hondabicyclesimulator
