he always seemed a bit too fat to be racing Sr 1-2. It's all so clear now.

Man, check out that product description

With the help of Gruber Assist, "Cycling becomes fitness cycling and is thereby healthier"

The real kicker? The kit costs $2500!

Who on earth is going to shelve out that sort of money? It's not stealthy anyway, all those electrical things are damn noisy in operation.

For that price you can buy equally useless but dramatically cooler small turbine engines, slap 2-3 of those to your bike and outrun cars on main roads without even pedalling, and they sound cool as hell.

$2500 wouldn't even get you refrigerated panniers, let alone the centrifuge...

I always thought downhillers were unnaturally skilled at staying upright....I guess it's because they've been using gyros the whole time =P

That's why the bikes are so heavy. The tubes are full of gyros.

Given that there has been massive cheating in pro-cycling since day 1 I've always just considered it to be part of the culture.

I'm still waiting for someone to figure out how to take the train to a stage win again.

Damn bandwagoners, these guys are just as bad as ambulance chasers. I always throw out every prototype I've ever built, especially when I need to demonstrate a working model for company launching purposes. FFS :|
