We all know that we are already hard to see but this guy has taken it a step further.

Imagine all those shards of glass when a car pulls out in front you cos' they didn't see you.

Doesn't bear thinking about.

No helmet either, making excellent choices here aren't we?

From the article: "In designing the mirror on wheels he said he was 'ignoring what makes motorcycles interesting,' core77.com reports. He added that he wanted to make something that was 'not very cool.' "


From seeing the pics of that thing I'd say he succeeded.

Ha wow, he might as well have said, "I'd like to design something that's guaranteed to kill you and not be very fun to ride at the same time, you know something that just really ****ing sucks." I have horrible ideas all the time why can't someone come along and say "Hey that's ground breaking and artsy, get this man a lot of money."

"gives it a range of 90 miles, which is about three hours of motorbikin'."

Only if the entire life of the bike is spent at 30mph going up and down the main drag of town trying to pick up hipster chicks.

V neck shirt - check
Intentionally ironic item - Check
Required use of smartphone for task that absolutely does not need one - Check.

It's 3 for 3 in the hipster category.
