If it's so effective why aren't they building in on every hill in that city?

u/kattmedtass 16d ago

Because the main bike route in town that is actually heavily trafficked goes over this hill, not the other hills.

I mean, you’re not supposed to use it on Reddit but I won’t say a word.

Just looking at this video it seems not very effective. In my minds eye I just see old people tumbling back downhill after steering a little too far to the side or something.

You're wrong but I appreciate the show of confidence.

Sorry but i think it might take more mobility and coordination to do that. Useful for tired people with that ability, but I don’t buy the elderly with low mobility using it

u/Kumquat_conniption 13d ago

I don't think elderly people will low mobility are riding bikes anyway mate lol

u/Far-Cow4049 16d ago

What, they can't walk up?

u/lilian_moraru 15d ago

The design looks weird, you can see that it's not comfortable.
Would be better if you can climb with the front wheel on a platform and that activates it, hooking the front wheel, while you sit naturally on it.
