- matznerd 13y agoWhat is with the editing in that video?
- Techasura 13y agowhat does the pedal boats do? aren't they a form of cycle mechanism?
- dagurp 13y agoWhat is so interesting about his age?
- vixen99 13y agoDoes it really need spelling out?
- draugadrotten 13y agoThis video has a condescending feel to it.
- camillomiller 13y agoI don't want to be disrespectful, but what's so innovative about a bike that cycles on water? Cycle boats are nothing new and everyone could think of a bicycle that floats and uses the rear wheel as propulsion. I (and so do you) can even think at least of two or three ways to make this waterbike more efficient...
- collyw 13y agoI was thinking that I have seen similar things before. I guess there just isn't much of a market for them to go mainstream. Still it is kind of cool.
- azifali 13y agoI think the right link to post would have been http://www.nif.org.in/?q=amphibious_cycle http://www.nif.org.in/?q=amphibious_cycle. The video is a bit irritating (thanks to Discovery Channel). While the idea is nothing new for regular folks, this man has built this in one of the most under-developed regions of India - Bihar and the fact that he has made several other similar solutions that are specific to the problems he faces, is laudable.
- deft 13y agoComments on this post are classic HN remarks. Why does everyone here seem to have such a hard time recognising and appreciating other people's accomplishments? Who cares if this is nothing new, he built it and whether or not "anyone could do this" he actually did.
