  • Yep - gotta go with that one. It's correctly titled.
  • "Stupidest" fails to describe how awesome it is. It goes beyond stupid. This is so stupid you are proud of it.
  • They might have a chance selling it as a novelty racing device. Get two or three people on each, then have them race a straight course. Maybe make the chassis a bit longer to facilitate a third (or even a fourth) person.
  • They did the same thing as an invention exchange on Mystery Science Theater 3000. I think they also did a rowing maching mounted on a boat.
  • It would be fun to ride your bike on it.
  • Riding my Segway on this baby is going to be a dream come true!
  • Replace the tired with those floater paddle-wheels so you can run on water, and maybe you're getting somewhere.
  • Could you put a bike on it?
  • And then maybe a skateboard somewhere?
  • What about a stationary bike? Hooked up to a generator which runs a little motor to turn the treadmill?
  • Fred Flintstone thought of this years ago.
  • It would be cool if you could stack them.
  • I'm laughing right now. that's hysterical...
  • Maybe this is for people who are allergic to dirt or something.
  • What would really be cool is if you could mount a lazy boy recliner!
  • Holy crap K7! I about peed my pants ROLFing and LOLing over "It would be fun to ride your bike on it." Thanks for the gut giggle homonculus!
  • Well, for someone like me, it might actually work. I only have partial feeling in one foot, and arthritis in the same knee (car accident when I was a teen), and although I love walking outside, it can be dangerous for me. I once broke my foot stepping in a depression in the road, because I couldn't feel it right. So my best, safest exercise is to walk on a treadmill. At least this way, I could get out and see nature. Aw, who am I kidding. The above is all true, but no way would I go out in that think looking like the biggest assweasel idiot in town.
  • I need to see an indie rock band do a synchronized dance video on 5 of these before I pass judgment.
  • If it I can go up to 35 mph, then I think I want one.
  • Assweasel Idiot is the name of my next thrash punk band.
  • Don't think i've ever seen a better cheap promo video for a ridiculously unnecessary contraption. Love the porno-esque soundtrack too.
