- CydeWeys 10y agoI don't think it would be. It'd have to have an upwards buoyant force of most of your body weight to really be effective. At that point we are talking about a huge balloon, meaning it'll cause a lot of air resistance which will cause problems when you're attempting to ride. You'll also lose a lot of traction. I think in the end it'd make it easier to be tipped over (especially if it catches a wind gust), and so would be self-defeating.
