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.
Movie is a classic. Sits alongside my other favs...Coming To America, Trading Places, Beetle Juice, Spy's Like Us, The Burbs....damn, it's popcorn time :)
@shawkin: That table was pretty damn ingenious, seems like if you folded the door all the way open, the table would be in line with the rest making it fit nicely against a wall.
I bet you could recreate if for a hell of a lot less than $45.000 though...
Dang, Owen on Kotaku can't say "shit", but "bullshit" is still running strong here over at Gizmodo. Unevenly applied standards across Gawker are a go! We have frignition!
Wet umbrella in your backpack?
I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.
What about weight Wilson? I ditched my old laptop bag and spent some more on a practically weightless bag. It has the same material used in parachutes.... name's rip stop if I'm not mistaken.
When I have to carry my laptop around, I just put it on a protective case.
It's still less safe than my old padded bag, but FAR FAR lighter...
But I guess it's a personal thing... I have some back issues, and I really really hate carrying heavy backpacks around.
